Mobilization of simazine degradation genes by the plasmid pSa

The plasmid pSa was found to mobilize the genes for simazine degradation (smz) of the rhizosphere bacterium Herbaspirillum sp.В601 by forming hybrid pSa-Smz plasmids. Independent migration of smz genes into various loci of genome during transfer and elimination of the hybrid plasmids indicated that the genes were parts of a «catabolic island» which could be unstable under certain conditions.

Keywords: Herbaspirillum, simazine, biodegradation, smz genes, catabolic island.
