The conjugally transferred TOL plasmid or NAH plasmid was stably maintained and expressed in n-alkane assimilating Pseudomonas putida KCTC 2405. However, these plasmids were not able to coexist in this strain because of incompatibility. The incompatibility of TOL and NAH plasmid was bypassed using CAM::TOL* plasmid, which was constructed by the transposition of only tol gene without incompatibility system in TOL plasmid into CAM plasmid. p. putida 3SK capable of growing on m-toluate, naphthalene, camphor, and n-alkane(C8-C24) was constructed by the conjugal transfer of NAH plasmid into n-alkane assimilating p. putida SK carrying CAM:: TOL* plasmid. CAM::TOL* plasmid in p. putida 3SK was stable on the selective media but unstable on the nonselective media.
