To identify genes that contribute to the virulence of Erwinia amylovora in plants, 1892 mutants were created and screened in pools of <= 96 mutants using signature-tagged mutagenesis. Nineteen mutants were not recovered from apple shoots following inoculation, which suggested that the insertions in these mutants affected genes important for bacterial survival in planta. DNA flanking the Tn5 insertions in the 19 mutants was sequenced and analysed by BLAST. One mutant had a Tn5 insertion in amsE, a gene involved in the biosynthesis of exopolysaccaride (EPS). Fourteen mutants had insertions in loci that were implicated in biosynthesis or transport of particular amino acids or nucleotides, a site-specific recombinase active during cell division and several putative proteins of unknown function; the flanking DNA of the remaining four mutants lacked significant homology with any DNA in the database. When inoculated individually to hosts, 10 of the 19 mutants caused significantly less disease and multiplied less, as compared with the wild-type strain.
