Novel Pseudomonas Plasmid Involved in Aniline Degradation

John G Anson 1, Graeme Mackinnon 1,*
PMCID: PMC241632  PMID: 16346652

Abstract

A plasmid of ca. 100 kilobases was detected in a Pseudomonas species which was isolated from soil by growth on aniline as the sole carbon and energy source. The plasmid was shown to be involved in aniline metabolism.
