Abstract excerpt
The region of the octopine-type tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid pTi15955 encoding catabolism of mannopinic acid was localized to an 18-kilobase (kb) segment mapping between Ti plasmid coordinates 70 and 88. A subclone containing only this region normally did not allow utilization of any other mannityl opine. However, spontaneous mutants of the plasmid were isolated that conferred catabolism of agropinic acid. While...
