pCAR1 is a carbazole(nitrogen-containing aromatic compound)-degradative plasmid. In our previous study, DNA rearrangements on pCAR1 were frequently detected in the host Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 in the presence of carbazole. Several Pf0-1 mutants harbouring pCAR1 were isolated. Here, we compared genome sequences of the parent strain Pf0-1L(pCAR1::rfp_Pf) and one of its mutants, 5EP83, to assess whether other DNA rearrangements occurred in either the plasmid or the host chromosome. none provided |
