Classification of R plasmids by incompatibility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
R plasmids identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated in our laboratories were classified by their incompatibility characters by using intraspecies conjugation in P. aeruginosa. The fertility factor, FP2, was compatible with R plasmids belonging to all groups, and was classified in a new group. From these data, the plasmids examined have been placed into seven or eight incompatibilit...
متن کاملNaphthalene plasmids in pseudomonads.
A rapid method beginning with the direct lysis of bacteria in alkaline sodium dodecyl sulfate was used to detect naphthalene plasmids in pseudomonads. The strains NCIB 9816, PG, ATCC 17483, and ATCC 17484, which can grow on naphthalene as the sole source of carbon and energy, were examined. All except ATCC 17483 contained more than one plasmid. ATCC 17483 did not contain any plasmids. The large...
متن کاملDiversity of silver resistance genes in IncH incompatibility group plasmids.
Silver compounds are used as antimicrobial agents in medicine and bacteria that develop resistance to silver cations (Ag(+)) pose problems similar to those of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The first set of Ag(+) resistance genes (sil) was from plasmid pMG101, now assigned to the IncHI incompatibility group. Questions of whether sil genes are unique to pMG101 or are more widely found, and wheth...
متن کاملExpression of degradative genes of Pseudomonas putida in Caulobacter crescentus.
The recombinant plasmid RP4-TOL was transferred into Caulobacter crescentus at a high frequency, and the plasmid was maintained for at least 50 generations. C. crescentus cells which contained RP4-TOL grew on all the aromatic compounds that the plasmid normally allowed Pseudomonas putida to grow on. Reciprocal transfers from C. crescentus donor to P. putida or Escherichia coli recipients were l...
متن کاملSeveral copies of the same insertion sequence are present in alpha-hemolytic plasmids belonging to four different incompatibility groups.
Alpha-hemolytic plasmids belonging to four different incompatibility groups contained several copies (two to six) of the same DNA sequence. This sequence was capable of illegitimate recombination and thus behaved as an insertion sequence element. Its size (1.9 kilobases) and restriction enzyme cleavage map suggested that it was different from previously described insertion sequence elements.
