We screened for transposon-generated mutants of
Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 that exhibited
aberrant phototactic movement. Of the 300 mutants generated, about 50 have been partially characterized; several contained transposons in
genes encoding chemotaxis-related proteins, while others mapped
to novel genes. These novel genes and their possible roles in motility
are discussed.
