Efficient transposon mutagenesis mediated by an IPTG-controlled conditional suicide plasmid

Abstract Background Transposon mutagenesis is highly valuable for bacterial genetic and genomic studies. The transposons are usually delivered into host cells through conjugation or electroporation of a suicide plasmid. However, many bacterial species cannot be efficiently conjugated or transformed...
