Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate the genetics of dimethoate degradation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa MCMB-427. METHODS AND RESULTS: Pseudomonas aeruginosa MCMB-427 demonstrated the ability to degrade dimethoate, a synthetic organophosphate insecticide. Total DNA preparation of MCMB-427 revealed the presence of a 6.6 kbp plasmid (designated as pDMD427). Escherichia coli NovaBlue transformed with plasmid pDMD427 subsequently...
