Incidence of plasmid and antibiotic resistance in psychrotrophic bacteria isolated from Antarctic sponges

A total of 297 bacterial strains were isolated from five Antarctic sponge species and tested by agarose gel electrophoresis for the presence of plasmid molecules. At least one kind of plasmid was carried by 69 isolates (about 23%). The disc diffusion susceptibility test was used to assay the resista...
