Abstract excerpt
Pilus-mediated motility is essential for the optimization of photosynthesis and environmental adaptation in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (Syn6803). To identify the genes required for pilus-mediated motility in Syn6803, we applied a forward genetic approach using a Tn5 mutant library and reverse genetics using interposon mutagenesis. One of the identified genes, sll0899, bears sequence similarity...
