Molecular relationships of degradative plasmids determined by in situ hybridisation of their endonuclease-generated fragments.

Plasmid inter-relationships were studied by hybridisation of a radioactively labelled DNA probe to endonuclease-derived fragmentation patterns of plasmids bound to a nitrocellulose filter. The degradative plasmids SAL and NAH were found to be very closely related, but probably one did not give rise to the other by just a single deletion or insertion. Relationships between SAL and other degradative plasmids are complex; substantial homology was found with TOL and other plasmids encoding toluate dissimilation and significant homology was found with OCT.

Molecular sizes and relationships of TOL plasmids in Pseudomonas.

Plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid was isolated from thirteen Pseudomonas strains judged on genetic criteria to carry plasmids coding for the degradation of toluene and m- and p-xylenes (TOL plasmids). Most strains carried a single species, but two strains carried two size classes, and cells of a third strain contained plasmids ranging in size from 25 X 10(6) to 202 X 10(6) daltons. Some plasmids could be transformed into a Pseudomonas putida strain to yield Tol+ progeny. Plasmids from 5 of the 13 strains were indistinguishable on the basis of size and gel pattern of fragments after endonuclease digestion.
