Genetic transfer of the mcd gene in soil.

2003

Aims: To investigate the role of horizontal gene transfer of mcd (methylcarbamate-degrading) gene in high genetic diversity of carbofuran-degrading bacteria. Methods and Results: The actuality of genetic transfer from degraders to an Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain was determined in liquid medium. The mcd gene was chosen for transfer experiments. Transconjugants were obtained irrespective of the type of the donor strain (Gram-positive or Gram-negative), size of the inoculum, or nature and concentration of the pesticide in the medium. Soil microcosms, inoculated with or without the donor and/or recipient strains were used. The size of the initial degrading population (treated or untreated s…
