Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa CMG103 was isolated from a metal-polluted river in Pakistan and displayed a high level of Zn and Cd resistance. An omega-Km transposon mutant of strain CMG103, which showed a substantial decrease in resistance to Zn and Cd, was obtained. A 12.8 kb region determining Zn and Cd resistance in strain CM103 was cloned by complementing the mutant strain, and its nt sequence was determined. Five...
