Abstract excerpt
The ability of Pseudomonas sp. 8909N to grow using Naphthalene and salicylate as the sole source of carbon and energy is mediated by the presence of an 80-kb conjugative pBS1145 plasmid in this strain. Structural genes for naphthalene degradation in pBS1145 plasmid are homologous to those in the known NAH7 plasmid. Conjugational transfer of pBS1145 from the original strain is accompanied by a deletion of a...
