NIC, a conjugative nicotine-nicotinate degradative plasmid in Pseudomonas convexa.

ABSTRACT

The plasmid nature of genes specifying degradation of nicotine and nicotinate in Pseudomas convexa strain 1 (Pc1) is indicated by mitomycin curing and conjugational transfer to other strains. The NIC plasmid appears to be compatible with other metabolic plasmids in Pseudomonas putida.
