Transposon mutagenesis of Psychrobacter cryohalolentis PAMC 21807 by tri-parental conjugation
Random mutagenesis is commonly used to study gene function. The screening of mutants exhibiting specific phenotypes assists in the identification of phenotype-related genes. In the current study, we isolated Antarctic bacteria, and developed a transposon Tn5 mutagenesis system. A total of 26 strains...
