RESUMO

Over 300 flagellar mutants were isolated in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO. R-prime plasmids carrying segments of bacterial chromosome which can complement the mutant phenotypes were isolated by means of plasmid R68.45. Among the R-prime plasmids, pMT6 complemented 167 out of 307 mutants examined, and pMT19 complemented the remaining 140 mutants. We found no mutant which was complemented by both of these plasmids. Hence, the flagellar genes were divided into two clusters by these two plasmids, namely, region I on pMT19 and region II on pMT6. By FP5- and R68.45-mediated conjugation, these two regions were located on the P. aeruginosa PAO chromosome with an order of puuF--region I--region II--oru-325.
