S. SANDHYA. 1996. Nocardioides sp., isolated for organic sulphur degradation, harbours catabolic plasmid pSB1 of molecular weight 34.2 kb. A correlation was noticed between the plasmid content and degradation of the organic sulphur compound dibenzothiophene (DBT). The maximum oxidation of DBT was only after 64 h, during which the content of plasmid DNA was also optimum.
