Genome-wide analysis of genes required for the mucoid phenotype of P. aeruginosa strain PA14 on PIAAMV. Of the 5,850 PA14 mutants screened, 135 mutants with a nonmucoid phenotype on PIAAMV were identified. Of these nonmucoid strains, 117 unique genes were identified as having an effect on the mucoid phenotype of P. aeruginosa on PIAAMV. (A) The PA14 genome with the 135 transposon insertions that abolished the PIAAMV-induced mucoid phenotype of PA14 is shown. (B) Mutants were grouped according to the PseudoCAP class and are shown as a percentage of the total number of genes in the class. (C) The distribution of gene product localization of the nonmucoid mutants on PIAAMV is shown.
