A catabolic plasmid involved in 4-methyl-o-phthalate and 4-hydroxy-iso-phthalate degradation in Pseudomonas cepacia.

FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 57(3) , 323-8, (1990)

Genes involved in 4-methyl-o-phthalate and 4-hydroxy-iso-phthalate catabolism reside on a 226-232 kbp catabolic plasmid termed MOP. This was confirmed by transformation and conjugation into an isogenic heat-cured (MOP-) derivative of the wild-type isolate, id...
