Involvement of the plasmid pPGH1 in the phenol degradation of<i>Pseudomonas putida</i>strain H

Abstract

Pseudomonas putida strain H (wildtype) was shown to harbour two plasmids with a molecular mass of about 50 kb and 200–220 kb, respectively. Evidence is presented that the larger one, pPGH1, is involved in the phenol degradation via the meta-cleavage pathway.
