Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation All eight transposon mutants of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 isolated in a screen for attachment defects showed reduced attachment to corn seeds.
- Observation Only two of the eight P. putida mutants had strong defects in adhesion to abiotic surfaces such as glass and different plastics.
- Observation None of the isolated genes had previously been described in P. putida, although four showed clear similarities with genes of known function in other organisms.
- Observation Four of the affected genes corresponded to putative surface and membrane proteins including a calcium-binding protein, a hemolysin and a peptide transporter.
- Observation One affected gene corresponded to a potential multidrug efflux pump among putative surface and membrane proteins.
- Observation The remaining three affected genes presented no obvious similarities with known genes, indicating novel functions.
