Abstract excerpt
A mutant of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tagetis EB037 with limited ability to produce tagetitoxin was isolated after transposon mutagenesis and the mutation was characterized. The mutation occurred in a gene with a high degree of sequence identity to exbD. exbD is contiguous with tonB and exbB upstream and with a gene for a TonB-dependent receptor downstream. Using reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction...
