Plating tests to confirm the presence or excision of the selection markers. Wild type Acinetobacter sp. Tol 5 (Tol 5 WT), the plasmid-integrated mutants Tol 5 G4 (G4) and Tol 5 G4K1 (G4K1), and the unmarked ataA mutant Tol 5 4140 (4140) were streaked on BS (Control), BS containing 100 μg/ml gentamicin (Gm), BS containing 100 μg/ml gentamicin and 100 μg/ml kanamycin (Gm + Km), and BS containing 5% sucrose (5% sucrose) plates, and incubated with a supply of toluene as a carbon source.
