Abstract
VR-6, a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, harboured a plasmid and was not inhibited by 20 mu l ml(-1) of essential oils (eucalyptus, lemongr ass, palmarosa, and peppermint). On treatment with acridine orange, a clone VR-6-AO-1 was obtained which was susceptible to 16.6 mu l ml(-1) of eucalyptus or palmarosa oil. The plasmid DNA content of this clone was similar to the parent strain.
