Engineered endophytic bacteria improve phytoremediation of water-soluble, volatile, organic pollutants
Phytoremediation of highly water soluble and volatile organic xenobiotics is often inefficient because plants do not completely degrade these compounds through their rhizospheres. This results in phytotoxicity...

Identification of a partition and replication region in theAlcaligenes eutrophus megaplasmid pMOL28
A 4.64 kb region of the 180 kb heavy metal resistance plasmid pMOL28 ofAlcaligenes eutrophus CH34, previously shown to be able to replicate autonomously, was sequenced and analyzed. Three genes involved in plasmi...
