Abstract Toluate degradative plasmid from Pseudomonas cepacia SUB37 was determined to be molecular weight as 79.3×10^6(119kb) by agarose gel electrophoresis. It was confirmed that TOL plasmid was transmissible into several strains of Pseudomonas and other genera which were unable to utilize m-toluate. Catechol-2, 3-oxygenase activity which plays an important role in m-toluate biodegradation was determined from crude extracts of P. cepacia SUB37 and transconjugants, suggesting that, as shown for P. putida mt-2, this result provides evidence that the genes coding for the catabolism of m-toluatevia the meta-pathway are also plasmid encoded. A new and independently isolated TOL plasmid from P. cepacia SUB37 belongs to the IncP-4 incompatibility group and could be derivatives of TOL plasmid from P. putida, which is IncP-9 group incompatibility.
