Abstract excerpt
A pyocyanin overproducer with insertional inactivation of ptsP gene was isolated from a mini-Mu insertion library in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA68. The mutation was complemented by a functional ptsP gene in trans. The pyocyanin-overproducing phenotype was also found in a ptsP mutant constructed by gene replacement in the P. aeruginosa PAO1 strain. Reporter plasmids with P(qscR)-lacZ, P(lasI)-lacZ and P(rhlI)-lacZ...
