Abstract excerpt
The ability of T7 RNA polymerase (RNAPT7 ) fusions to cytosine deaminases (CdA) for entering C➔T changes in any DNA segment downstream of a T7 promoter was exploited for hyperdiversification of defined genomic portions of Pseudomonas putida KT2440. To this end, test strains were constructed in which the chromosomally encoded pyrF gene (the prokaryotic homologue of yeast URA3) was flanked by T7 transcription...
