Abstract excerpt

A 102-kb plasmid, pIJB1, was isolated from Burkholderia cepacia strain 2a, which is able to use 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) as a sole carbon source, and a physical map of the plasmid has been established. It was observed that spontaneous loss of a 37-kb fragment of the plasmid after growth...
