Abstract excerpt
A Tn5 transposon mutant was isolated of the alkylphenol degrader Pseudomonas sp. KL28 that showed increased growth at higher levels of m-cresol on solid and in liquid cultures. The transposon was inserted at the 5'-terminus of rpoS, which encodes a stationary-phase sigma factor. When grown on agar plates, the rpoS mutant developed prominent wrinkles, especially at lower temperatures, and spread faster on soft...
