Abstract excerpt
Determinant genes controlling biofilm formation in a plant commensal bacterium, Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5, were identified by transposon mutagenesis. Comprehensive screening of 7500 transposon-inserted mutants led to the isolation of four mutants exhibiting decreased and five mutants exhibiting increased biofilm formation. Mutations in the genes encoding MFS drug resistance transporter, LapA adhesive protein,...
