Abstract excerpt
A new class of mutants deficient in nitrate assimilation was obtained from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus strain PCC7942 by means of random insertional mutagenesis. A 0.5-kb genomic region had been replaced by a kanamycin resistance gene cassette in the mutant, resulting in inactivation of two genes, one of which was homologous to the recently characterized cnaT gene of Anabaena sp. strain PCC7120 (J....
