[Transposon mutagenesis, elimination and mobilization of plasmids in nitrogen-fixating bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Sp245]. 1990

E I Katsy, and E A Zhuravleva, and V I Panasenko

The expressed difference in the plasmid profile of A. brasilense Sp245 is registered as a result of Tn5-Mob-mutability. Integration of the vector pSUP5011 into one of the A. brasilense Sp245 plasmid and using of the Tn5-Mob transposon to mobilize the 85Md cryptic plasmid are reported. The properties of A. brasilense Sp245 with the mutant plasmids composition (surface structure, acetylene and nitrate reduction, ability to a number of carbohydrates utilization, formation of melanin, antibiotics resistance specter) have been analyzed. The transposon Tn5-Mob insertion into the 85Md plasmid resulted in isolation of a mutant excreting a melanin-like pigment into the medium. The results suppose 85Md plasmid participation in melaninogenesis.

D004251 DNA Transposable Elements Discrete segments of DNA which can excise and reintegrate to another site in the genome. Most are inactive, i.e., have not been found to exist outside the integrated state. DNA transposable elements include bacterial IS (insertion sequence) elements, Tn elements, the maize controlling elements Ac and Ds, Drosophila P, gypsy, and pogo elements, the human Tigger elements and the Tc and mariner elements which are found throughout the animal kingdom.
