COMPARATIVE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF PLASMIDS IN THE GENUS RAOULTELLA STRAINS DEGRADING 2,4,5-T
New plasmids of Raoultella planticola strains have been isolated and designated as pRP33-4ch and pRP36D. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis revealed that pRP33-4ch was deletion derivative of the plasmid pRP36D. Plasmids pRP33-4ch and pRP36D carrying the 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid biodegradation genes.
