Abstract excerpt
Transposon Tn4001 mutagenesis of Spiroplasma citri wild-type (wt) strain GII-3 led to the isolation and characterization of non-phytopathogenic mutant GMT 553. In this mutant, transposon Tn4001 is inserted within the first gene of the fructose operon. This operon comprises three genes. The first gene (fruR) codes for a putative transcriptional regulator protein belonging to the deoxyribonucleoside repressor...
