Abstract excerpt
A transposon mutant of Rhodobacter sphaeroides WS8 was isolated that showed reduced swarming on soft agar plates. Liquid cultures of this mutant (M18) showed a low percentage of motile swimming cells in mid-exponential phase and a low level of extracellular flagellin protein by Western blotting. M18 was complemented by a clone from a library of R. sphaeroides WS8 DNA, and restriction mapping of the site of TnphoA...
