Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas virulence is thought to depend on multiple characteristics, including the production of an extracellular alkaline protease. We report the isolation, from a PAO1 DNA genomic bank, of a cosmid carrying the structural gene coding for alkaline protease. By in vivo mutagenesis using transposon Tn1735, which functions as a transposable promoter, the expression of an 8.8-kilobase DNA fragment under control...
