RESUMO

Multitrichously polar flagellated mutants were isolated from a monotrichously flagellated strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The ability of the mutant cells to swarm in semisolid media at given gel strengths was increased by the multiflagellation. Observations of the mutant cells by electron microscopy revealed that the number of flagella produced per cell cycle was increased. F116 phage-mediated transduction showed that the multiflagellation occurred by a single mutation and that the mutation sites were linked to a fla cluster of this organism.
