Pseudomonas arvilla mt-2 (ATCC 23073) has been shown to harbour a transmissible plasmid which codes for the degradation of benzoate and m-toluate. Plasmid-borne genetic information codes for the conversion of these compounds to catechol then the assimilation of catechol via the meta cleavage pathway.
