Abstract excerpt
An efficient transposon mutagenesis system using conjugative transposons Tn916 and Tn925::Tn917 was established for Clostridium acetobutylicum P262, an industrial strain which has proved difficult to manipulate genetically. Transposon insertions occurred at several different locations to produce a variety of mutants. An oligosporogenous mutant deficient in acetone and butanol production, and two...
