PLASMIDS ORIGINATING IN AMMONIA OXIDIZING BACTERIA AND USE OF THE SAME

摘要

The present invention provides a plasmid characterized by having the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, a plasmid characterized by having the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, a plasmid characterized by having at least a part of the nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 2 and further containing a selective marker gene, each plasmid being suitable for use as a transformation vector for effecting gene manipulation in ammonia oxidizing bacteria, and transformants characterized in that they are obtained by transferring these plasmids into host organisms.
