Abstract excerpt
To identify the genes required for chitinase production by Serratia marcescens 2170, various Tn5 mutants somehow defective in chitinase production were isolated in a previous study. In order to identify the mutated gene in one of the chitinase-deficient mutants, N1, DNA regions flanking the Tn5 insertion were cloned and sequenced. Sequence comparison showed that the mutation occurred in the ORF located between...
