Eleven catabolic markers have been located on the chromosome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO using FPS-mediated conjugation and G101 transduction. Most of these markers are located in the region 20–35 min, and the remainder in the region later than 60 min. Four chu genes concerned in the sequential degradation of choline to glycine are closely linked.
