The method includes increasing the activity of the organic component in the aqueous medium by increasing the concentration of at least one hydrophilic solute in the medium leading to salting-out of the organic component. The microorganisms are genetically modified to be capable of tolerating higher concentrations in the medium in comparison to their unmodified counterparts. | 01-17-2013 |
