Abstract excerpt
Transposon mutagenesis was used to identify a new locus required for twitching motility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Four Tn5-B21 mutants which lacked twitching motility and a fifth which exhibited impaired motility were found to map to the same KPN:I restriction fragment at approximately 40 min on the P. aeruginosa genome. Cloning and sequencing studies showed that all five transposon insertions occurred within...
