J.YR 1980 T1 Plasmid-specified Sucrose Fermentation in Salmonella arizonae JF Microbiology, VO 121 IS 1 SP 255 OP 257 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00221287-121-1-255 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1465-2080, AB Thirty cultures of Salmonella arizonae 47:r:253 (Ar 23:24–25) were isolated over 7 months from the faeces of a captive reptile. All were unusual in their inability to produce a positive o-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactosidase reaction, and in their ability to ferment sucrose. These S. arizonae carried a plasmid having a molecular mass of 72 megadaltons which specified tetracycline resistance and a plasmid of 5 megadaltons which coded for the ability to ferment sucrose. The small size of this sucrose plasmid clearly distinguishes it from others which have been reported., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-121-1-255
