Microbial adaptation to ionic liquids

Abstract

One out of 10 microorganisms from extreme locations was adapted to the presence of common families of ionic liquids, which have lately emerged as “contaminants on the horizon”. A 10-fold higher tolerance was concluded for the ionic liquid-resistant strain. A biopolymer was secreted as an adaptation response.
