degradative plasmids are types of plasmids present in certain bacterias such as pseudomonas putida which impart the ability of degrade xenobiotic compounds such as salicylic acid, 2-4D etc.

there are 3 such plasmids-

1)CAM plasmid- which degrades camphor.

2)XYL ,, - ,, ,, xylene.

3)NAH ,, - ,, ,, napthalene.

in addition to this CAM also has octane degrading OCT part & NAH has salicylic acid degrading SAL part.
