Naphthalene and Donor Cell Density Influence Field Conjugation of Naphthalene Catabolism Plasmids

We examined transfer of naphthalene-catabolic genes from donor microorganisms native to a contaminated site to site-derived, rifampin-resistant recipient bacteria unable to grow on naphthalene. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) was demonstrated in filter matings using groundwater microorganisms as dono...
