Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP initiates atrazine catabolism via three enzymatic steps, encoded by atzA, -B, and -C, which yield cyanuric acid, a nitrogen source for many bacteria. In-well lysis, Southern hybridization, and plasmid transfer studies indicated that the atzA, -B, and -C genes are localized on a 96-kb self-transmissible plasmid, pADP-1, in Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP. High-performance liquid...
