Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas paucimobilis UT26 grows on gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (gamma-HCH) as a sole source of carbon and energy. Tn5 mutation was introduced into UT26, and two kinds of mutants defective in gamma-HCH degradation were phenotypically isolated; one (UT64) completely lacked the activity to degrade gamma-HCH, while the other (UT61) retained a very low level of activity. Tagging and sequencing analysis showed that...
