Abstract excerpt
Transposon mutagenesis of Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6 was performed with the transposon Tn5 to investigate genes involved in production of secondary metabolites. A mutant, termed Org, produced intense dark-brown pigmentation on rich medium. The Tn5-flanking sequence of the Org mutant showed high homology with the hmgA gene encoding the enzyme homogentisate dioxygenase, involved in the degradation of aromatic...
