We determined the effect of the host on the function and structure of the nearly identical IncP-
7 carbazole-degradative plasmids pCAR1. 1 and pCAR1. 2. We constructed Pseudomonas …

In our previous study, Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1L, harbouring the IncP-7 carbazole-
degradative plasmid pCAR1:: rfp, was shown to be undetectable within 5 days post …

The carbazole-degradative plasmid pCAR1 carries the class II transposon Tn 4676, which
contains the car and ant genes, essential for conversion of carbazole into anthranilate, and …

ABSTRACT We determined the complete 254,797-bp nucleotide sequence of the plasmid
pCAR3, a carbazole-degradative plasmid from Sphingomonas sp. strain KA1. A region of …

Isolated from Pseudomonas resinovorans CA10, pCAR1 is a 199-kb plasmid that carries
genes involved in the degradation of carbazole and dioxin. The nucleotide sequence of …

To elucidate why plasmid-borne catabolic ability differs among host bacteria, we assessed
the expression dynamics of the P ant promoter on the carbazole-degradative conjugative …

pCAR1 and pCAR2 are IncP-7 self-transmissible carbazole degradative plasmids. Their …

The IncP-7 plasmid pCAR1 of Pseudomonas resinovorans CA10 confers the ability to
degrade carbazole upon transfer to the recipient strain P. putida KT2440. We designed a …

Pseudomonas resinovorans strain CA10 assimilates catechol, which is an intermediate of
carbazole degradation, by ortho cleavage pathway enzymes encoded by the catR, catBCA …
