A chromosomal linkage map of Azotobacter vinelandii

Abstract
A chromosomal map of Azotobacter vinelandii strain UW was constructed. The map was based on measures of cotransfer of various markers mediated by plasmids R68.45 and pJB3JI, on results obtained from conjugal experiments with R-primes, and on recombinants obtained by chromosomal transfer mediated by RP4/Tn5-Mob.
