Abstract excerpt
We used a combination of in silico and large-scale mutagenesis approaches to expand our current knowledge of the genetic determinants used by Pseudomonas putida KT2440 to attach to surfaces. We first identified in silico orthologues that have been annotated in Pseudomonas aeruginosa as potentially involved in attachment. In this search 67 paired-related genes of P. putida KT2440 and P. aeruginosa were identified...
