title: Random mutagenesis of Clostridium cellulolyticum by using a Tn1545 derivative.
abstract: Further understanding of the plant cell wall degradation system of Clostridium cellulolyticum and the possibility of metabolic engineering in this species highlight the need for a means of random mutagenesis. Here, we report the construction of a Tn1545-derived delivery tool which allows monocopy random insertion within the genome.
