title: [Effect of catabolic plasmids on physiological parameters and efficiency of oil destruction by bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas].
abstract: The ability of microbial degraders of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to grow at 24 degrees C in liquid mineral medium supplemented with oil as the sole source of carbon and energy was studied. Growth characteristics (CFU) and the level of oil destruction by plasmid-bearing and plasmid-free strains were determined after seven days of cultivation. The presence of catabolic plasmids in the degrader strains, including rhizosphere pseudomonads, was shown to increase cell growth and enhance the level of oil degradation. Strain Pseudomonas chlororaphis BS 1391 bearing plasmid pBS216 was found to be the most effective oil degrader.
