Abstract excerpt
The genetic systems that are responsible for naphthalene catabolism were analyzed in 18 naphthalene-degrading Pseudomonas fluorescens strains isolated from oil-contaminated soils in different regions of Russia. It was found that thirteen strains contain plasmids, from 20 to 120 kb in size, at least five of which are conjugative and bear the catabolic genes responsible for the complete utilization of naphthalene...
