Carbohydrate and Amino Acid Fermentation in the Free-Living Primitive Protozoon Hexamita sp.

abstract：:A modified mariner transposon, miniHimar RB1, was generated to mutagenize cells of the metal-reducing bacterium Shewanella oneidensis. The use of this transposon led to the isolation of stable mutants and allowed rapid identification of disrupted genes. Fifty-eight mutants, including BG104 and BG148 with transposon in...
