Ordered transposon mutant library of Pseudomonas aeruginosaCreated a near-saturation sequence defined transposon mutant library in which individual mutants are arrayed and can be retrieved for distribution. 'Random' transposon insertion mutants were arrayed and sequenced to define the transposon insertion locations in the genome of P. aeruginosa strain PA01.9437Kiara Held
