Ethanol, but not other organics, enhances Acinetobacter growth. Bacteria were grown in YPAD or YPAD supplemented with ethanol, methanol, butanol, or dimethyl sulfoxide. The concentration of each organic used was 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, or 9.5%. Bacteria were grown overnight at room temperature, and cell densities were measured by the OD600. Cell densities are shown as the percent enhancement or inhibition compared to that of cells grown in YPAD alone.
