ABSTRACT:
A bacterial method and compositions for degrading isoprenoids using selected Pseudomonas strains, particularly strains of Pseudomonas putida, are described. Plasmid pSRQ50 in the selected Pseudomonas strains was isolated from an isoprenoid rich environment. pSRQ50 is not naturally transmissible by conjugation and was found to encode for isoprenoid degradation. In addition, a method and compositions utilizing vector plasmid pRO1742 (pRO1600:Tn904) or other Tn904 containing vectors for transferring pSRQ50 and other transfer related plasmids by conjugal mating is described. Isoprenoids, such as citronellol and geraniol, from citrus wastes are degraded by the Pseudomonas strains.
