Abstract excerpt

Genes involved in 4-methyl-o-phthalate and 4-hydroxy-iso-phthalate catabolism reside on a 226-232 kbp catabolic plasmid termed MOP. This was confirmed by transformation and conjugation into an isogenic heat-cured (MOP-) derivative of the wild-type isolate, identified and termed Pseudomonas cepaci...
