Abstract: | Using analytical and preparative methods, we demonstrated the presence of an indigenous plasmid (pNIAB-I) in a diazotroph,Klebsiella sp. NIAB-I isolated, from the roots of Kallar grass, growing on saline lands in Pakistan. The plasmid is approximately 50 kilobase (kb) in size. Transformation experiments indicated that non-halophilic bacteria such asE. coli K12 strain (MV10) andK. pneumoniae M5AI on acquiring this plasmid become tolerant to high salt (NaCl) and alkaline pH. |
