Abstract
Chromate resistance of P. fluorescens LB300, isolated from Cr-contaminated sediment in the upper Hudson River [USA], is plasmid specified. Loss of the plasmid (pLHB1) by spontaneous segregation or mitomycin C curing resulted in a simultaneous loss of chromate resistance. Subsequent transformation of such strains with purified pLHB1 plasmid DNA resulted in a simultaneous reacquisition of the chromate resistance phenotype and the plasmid. When pLHB1 was transferred by conjugation to Escherichia coli, the plasmid still conferred chromate resistance.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
