چکیده
SAL-TOL in vivo recombinant plasmid pKF439 was characterized in a strain from a mixed culture of bacteria harboring various degradative plasmids. Analysis of the gene organization of pKF439 revealed that the 57-kilobase TOL fragment, including the 40-kilobase TOL metabolic region, was inserted into the complete SAL replicon at the position of SmaI-C within XhoI-B of SAL. The molecular size of pKF439 was calculated to be 138 kilobases. pKF439 could be transferred to Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas aeruginosa at high frequency, and the transconjugants gained the ability to grow with m-xylene, m-toluate, and salicylate as the sole carbon source.

Homology between nucleotide sequences of promoter regions of nah and sal operons of NAH7 plasmid of Pseudomonas putida.
The in vivo transcription start sites of the nah and sal operons of the NAH7 plasmid were determined by S1 nuclease mapping and the nucleotide sequence surrounding these transcription start sites was determined. Since expression of both of these operons is coordinately controlled by the product of the transcriptional activator gene nahR, the sequences were compared to locate potential sites inv...
متن کاملPhysical and functional mapping of two cointegrate plasmids derived from RP4 and TOL plasmid pDK1.
Cointegrate plasmids were formed in vivo between the broad-host-range R-plasmid RP4 and two catabolic plasmids derived from Pseudomonas putida HS1. One of these was the wild-type plasmid pDK1 encoding the complete inducible toluene/xylene (TOL) catabolic pathway and one was pDKT1, a deletion derivative of pDK1 selected after growth of HS1 on benzoate and supporting growth on only toluene. The t...
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 کاملApplied an Efficient Site-directed Mutagenesis Method into Escherichia coli
A new technique for conducting site-directed mutagenesis was developed. This method allows the color selection of mutants through the simultaneous activation or deactivation of the α-peptide of ß-galactosidase. The method can efficiently create mutations at multiple sites simultaneously and can be used to perform multiple rounds of mutation on the same construct. In this paper, in order to deve...
متن کاملApplication of DNA-DNA colony hybridization to the detection of catabolic genotypes in environmental samples.
The application of preexisting DNA hybridization techniques was investigated for potential in determining populations of specific gene sequences in environmental samples. Cross-hybridizations among two degradative plasmids, TOL and NAH, and two cloning vehicles, pLAFR1 and RSF1010, were determined. The detection limits for the TOL plasmid against a nonhomologous plasmid-bearing bacterial backgr...
