Abstract excerpt
From a library of approximately 20,000 transposon mutants, we have identified mutants affected in chromosomal genes involved in synthesis of the siderophore anguibactin, as well as in ferric anguibactin utilization. Genetic and sequence analyses of one such transport-defective mutant revealed that the transposon insertion occurred in an open reading frame (ORF) with homology to rmlC, a dTDP-rhamnose biosynthetic...
