title: [Genetic control of the destruction of surface-active agents].
abstract: Degradation of anionic, cationic, and zwitterionic surfactants, such as alkylbenzene sulfonate, ethonium, amidobetaine, and alkylaminobispropionate, by pseudomonads can be controlled by plasmid genes. The majority of plasmids of surfactant-degrading strains are capable of conjugal transfer.
