Abstract excerpt
Naphthalene oxidation by a parent and a mutant strain of Pseudomonas putida was studied. The parent strain contained a plasmid NPL-1 which controlled oxidation of naphthalene to salicylic acid and was capable of oxidizing salicylate. The mutant strain did not oxidize salicylate because of a mutation in salicylate hydroxylase; it contained also a mutant plasmid NPL-41 which determined constitutive synthesis of...
