<i>P. aeruginosa</i> TBCF10839 Tn<i>5</i> minitransposon colony morphology mutants.

#Morphotype: A-shiny autolysis, A*-shiny autolysis, but not white on iron supplemented medium; B–white colony on blood agar and iron supplemented media, on Congo red agar the colour is concentrated in the center of colony; C–light rose or colourless on Congo red agar, D–autolysis, but no shine, E-non mucoid at room temperature; F–orange pigment in the center of colony; G–small colony; H–highly mucoid. *Mutant has been complemented in trans. Complementation of transposon insertion mutant with the recombinant plasmid carrying the respective full-length gene plus promoter reverted the mutant morphotype to colony morphology of the wild type TBCF10839 strain.
