From the soil and river samples, some bacterial strains degrading chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons were isolated and identified. Of the isolates, seven strains of Pseudomonas sp. harbouring plasmids were selected for their prominent degradative ability to 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid. By agarose gel electrophoresis and curing experiment it was found that the genes for 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid degradation were encoded on the plasmids in these selected strains. Antibiotic resistance and degradative ability for other herbicides of the strains were tested
