Abstract
A nonswarming Serratia liquefaciens mutant deficient in serrawettin W2 production was constructed by transposon mutagenesis. Sequence homolo gy indicated that insertion had occurred in gene swrA, which encodes a putative peptide synthetase, Expression of swrA is controlled by quor oum sensing.
