A strain of Alcaligenes paradoxus, unable to degrade phenoxyacetic acid, was shown to degrade two synthetic derivatives of this molecule, the herbicides 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid. The ability to degrade these pesticides is encoded by a 58-megadalton conjugal plasmid, pJP1.
一株不能降解苯氧乙酸的嗜碱假单胞菌被证明能够降解该分子的两种合成衍生物,即除草剂2,4-二氯苯氧乙酸和2-甲基-4-氯苯氧乙酸。降解这些农药的能力由一个58兆道尔顿的接合质粒pJP1编码。
