Abstract excerpt
The asoA gene of Aeromonas salmonicida is located approximately 7 kb downstream of the A-layer structural gene, vapA. A 6 kb BamHI fragment containing asoA was cloned and marker-exchange mutagenesis using a kanamycin-resistance cassette was performed to generate an asoA mutation in the low-virulence strain A449L. When analysed by electron microscopy, the mutant A449L-MB exhibited an altered surface morphology....
