RESUMO

A Tn5 loaded derivative of the IncP-10 plasmid R91-5 (pMO75) was used as a suicide vector to generate random chromosomal insertion mutations in Pseudomonas putida PPN. Reintroduction of pMO75 into such mutants resulted in integration of the plasmid at the site of Tn5 insertion, giving rise to two classes of high frequency of donors recombination (Hfr) donors, transferring chromosome at high frequency (>10(-1) per donor cell) in opposite directions. Consequently, Tn5 induced auxotrophic mutations could be equated with or distinguished from previously mapped mutations, and closely linked markers ordered, on the basis of marker recovery using the two classes of Hfr donor. The isolation of many new transfer origins allowed more accurate time-of-entry analysis than previously possible and resulted in the reduction of the genetic map from 103 min to 88 min.
