Abstract excerpt
The excellent-root-colonizing Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS365 was selected previously as the parental strain for the isolation of mutants impaired in root colonization. Transposon mutagenesis of WCS365 and testing for root colonization resulted in the isolation of mutant strain PCL1201, which is approximately 100-fold impaired in competitive tomato root colonization. In this manuscript, we provide evidence that...
