title: Transposon insertion in the ftsK gene impairs in planta growth and lesion-forming abilities in Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae B728a.
abstract: A Tn5 insertion in the ftsK gene of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae B728a impaired brown spot lesion formation on Phaseolus vulgaris, the ability to grow within bean leaves, and swarming ability on semisolid agar. Plasmids containing the ftsK gene were sufficient to complement the original Tn5 mutant for lesion formation and swarming and partially restored in planta growth.
