Abstract
The genome of Mycobacterium smegmatis mc(2)155 contains a 56kb duplicated region. We isolated a mutant of mc(2)155 lacking this duplication (DeltaDRKIN). This mutation did not affect the growth rate, surface properties or transformation efficiency of the organism, confirming the potential utility of DeltaDRKIN for the study of genes contained within the duplicated region.Entities:
