Abstract excerpt

The conjugative transposon Tn916 was used for mutagenesis of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. Tetracycline-resistant mutants were screened for loss of granulose synthesis and five classes of granulose mutants, that contained single transposon insertions, were identified on the basis of altere...
