Abstract: | Summary Plasmids fromZ.
mobilis could be stably maintained inE.
coli HB101 in which the expression of various drug resistance markers could be monitored. A large molecular weight plasmid (5.2 kbp) ofZ.
mobilis was found to harbour the genes for mercuric chloride degradation and to confer uponE.
coli, resistance to a higher mercuric chloride concentration as compared toZ.
mobilis. The introduction of this plamsid madeE.
coli sensitive to concentrations of cadmium acetate which were originally non-inhibitory to it. |
