DNA probes for detection of copper resistance genes in Xanthomonas campestris pv. Vesicatoria
Abstract
The copper resistance (Cu^r) genes encoded on pXV1OA, a 190-kb plasmid in Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria XV10, were isolated on a 44-kb cosmid clone designated pCuRl. TnS mutagenesis of pCuRl indicated that a 4.0-kb region was required for copper resistance. Three restriction fragments located within the 4.0-kb region demonstrated high specificity for the Cu^r genes present in X. campestris pv. vesicatoria and will be useful in monitoring the presence of these genes in the environment.
