Mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO deficient in their utilization of DL-valine have been found to have lost their capacity to utilize DL-alanine and L-proline. Use of conjugal and transductional mediated gene transfers have established the chromosomal location of this gene and also its pleotropic

โฆ Synopsis
Genes specifying the oxidative utilization of hydroxyproline (Hyp) in P. aeruginosa PAO were located on the chromosome, around 19th minute by conjugation experiments. A map order of his-68-his-07-Hyp was assigned. Confirmation of this gene order was also demonstrated by transductional mapping studies. All the genes determining the enzymes of Hyp dissimiliatory pathway were closely linked.

The P-group plasmids RP1 and R26 are recovered at low frequency following conjugal transfer to B3-lysogens of P. aeruginosa PAO. The rare carbenicillin-resistant transcipients that do arise are usually transfer-defective (Tra-) and may show the loss of other plasmid borne functions, namely kanamycin
