Abstract
Transposon insertion sequencing is a useful tool to identify the genes that are essential for a bacterial species to grow and divide effectively. In this issue of Journal of Bacteriology, Fabian et al. present the first set of transposon insertion sequencing data highlighting the genes essential to the plant-commensal species Pseudomonas protegens strain Pf-5 and describe comparative analyses with other pseudomonads (B.
