Abstract excerpt
We isolated a transposon-induced nonmotile mutant of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The mutant was revealed to have a Tn5 insertion in the slr1443 gene that showed sequence similarity to a eukaryotic-type protein kinase. Thick pili were not observed on the mutant cell surface under the electron microscope. The slr1443 gene was not involved in transcription or translation of the pilA1 gene encoding...
