Abstract excerpt
Random Tn5 mutagenesis over Azotobacter vinelandii mucoid strain ATCC 9046 produced strain LA21, a non-mucoid, non-encysting mutant, carrying the Tn5 insertion within a gene homologous to algK from Pseudomonas aeruginosa encoding a periplasmic protein. algK, algJ and algG were shown to be transcr...
