Abstract

SUMMARY: Two new and independently isolated catabolic plasmids coding for the degradation of naphthalene have been characterized in strains of Pseudomonas putida. Both plasmids are transmissible, belong to the P9 incompatibility group and code for naphthalene degradation via salicylate and catechol, then by the catechol meta-cleavage pathway.
