presence of plasmids within and twenty nine of them were found positive. The size of the plasmid DNAs were between 4 to 11 kb. All the plasmid bearing isolates showed elevated tolerance towards arsenate and arsenite (MTC 400 mM and 20 mM respectively) while tolerance to other heavy metals like Cu2+‚ Cd2+‚ Cr2+ and Pb2+ (MTC < 3 mM) was moderate. Plasmid bearing isolates were tested for their resistance against five antibiotics‚ out of which all except one were found to be resistant against ampicillin
