RESUMO
Derivatives of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa plasmid R91-5, loaded with the transposon Tn501, were transferred to P. putida PPN. Over 90% of exconjugants, which arose at a frequency of ca. 10(-6) per donor cell, exhibited high-frequency (greater than 10(-2) per donor cell) polarized transfer of chromosomal markers. In one instance it was demonstrated by transduction that the plasmid had been inserted into a gene required for serine biosynthesis. The integrated nature of the plasmid in this and other P. putida (R91-5::Tn501) derivatives was supported by the failure to detect covalently closed circular DNA in these strains. The transfer origins of six different Hfr donors have been characterized genetically, and time-of-entry kinetics obtained from interrupted matings have enabled the construction of a circular genetic map 103 min in length and containing 35 markers. The genetic map of P. putida PPN shows significant differences in marker order to that of P. aeruginosa PAO.
