A method has been developed which will permit the mapping of the genetic material of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This has been made possible by the use of potassium nitrate in the mating medium and other modifications which have increased the frequency of recombination. In certain circumstances, the ilvA12 marker may be transferred by more than 1% of the donor cells.
