Abstract excerpt
Tn5 lacZ mutants were generated with Azospirillum brasilense 7030 by mating that strain with Escherichia coli strains carrying suicide plasmid pCIB100 or pCIB110. Kanamycin-resistant Azospirillum colonies were obtained with a maximum frequency of 10(-6) per recipient cell. The potential of Tn5 lacZ for random transposon mutagenesis coupled to transcription analysis in A. brasilense 7030 was demonstrated. Sixty...
