Abstract excerpt
The proteins encoded by chromosomal homologues of the parA and parB genes of many bacterial plasmids have been implicated in chromosome partitioning. Unlike their plasmid counterparts, mutant phenotypes produced by deleting these genes have so far been elusive or weakly expressed, except during sporulation. Here the properties of Pseudomonas putida strains with mutations in parA and parB are described. These...
