JA300 acrR IS	0.051 ± 0.037	ND^b	1.2 ± 0.1
JA300 marR	0.049 ± 0.010	ND^b	1.0 ± 0.1
JA300 acrR IS marR	0.0010 ± 0.0006	0.10 ± 0.01	0.29 ± 0.01

^aE. coli strains grown in LBGMg medium were exposed to organic solvents in the two-phase system and incubated for 30 min as described in Materials and Methods. Values indicate means of results and standard deviations of results from three independent experiments.
^bND, not determined.
