Genetic analysis of two mutants altered with respect to formation of polyhydroxyalkanoic acid and identification of putative RNA helicase, nuclease and gas vesicle genes in Bacillus megaterium
To study polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) accumulation and PHA regulation in Bacillus megaterium, transposon mutagenesis with Tn917-LTV1 was carried out and seventy two mutants that produce more or less PHA than normal were isolated and partially characterized. The chromosomal regions of B. megaterium fla...
