Abstract excerpt

Most of the known naphthalene biodegradation plasmids determine the process of naphthalene degradation via salicylate and catechol using the meta pathway of catechol degradation. However, Pseudomonas putida strains with plasmids pBS2, pBS216, pBS217 and NPL-1 exert no activity of the enzymes invo...
