Sequence analysis of the circular 101,016-bp plasmid pKB1 from the rubber-degrading bacteriumGordonia westfalicastrain Kb1 revealed 105 open reading frames (ORFs) which could be assigned to three functional groups (a) replication and partitioning, (b) catabolism, and (c) conjugative transfer. Successful con-jugative transfer of pKB1 demonstrated the functionality of its conjugative transfer genes. The origin of replication of pKB1 was identified and used for construction of twoEscherichia coliGordoniashuttle vectors suitable for severalGordoniaspecies and related genera. As expression of the pKB1-encodedcadAinE. colimediated resistance to cadmium,cadAwas used as a pKB1-specific selection marker to monitor transfer of pKB1 by electroporation and conjugation to taxonomically related bacteria, mediating cadmium resistance to a maximal concentration of 800 μ M to the recombinant pKB1-harboring strains. Plasmid pKB1-free mutants ofG. westfalicastrain Kb1 had lost the ability to use natural rubber (NR) as sole carbon source, thereby suggesting that genes essential for NR degradation are encoded by pKB1. Transcription analysis of pKB1-encoded genes with a putative metabolic function revealed that ORF42 (a putative cytochromecoxidase) and ORF6 (a putative epoxide hydrolase) are induced in cells ofG. westfalicastrain Kb1 during growth on NR but not or only slightly on sodium acetate. As genetic engineering of pKB1 in its hostG. westfalicastrain Kb1 failed due to the lack of an effective gene transfer system for this strain, pKB1 was transferred to genetically approachable strains for engineering and analysis of pKB1-encoded features.
