摘要：

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 chernotaxis-related proteins, while others mapped to novel genes. These novel genes and their possible roles in motility are discussed.
