| Summary: | <i>Pseudomonas putida</i> PCL1760 is a well-studied bacterium that can be used for a wide range of biotechnological applications. In our study we investigated the effect of deletion of the genes involved in alginate accumulation (<i>alg</i>A), flagellar export (<i>flh</i>A), and pili formation <i>pil</i>Q on the behavior of the strain in bioreactors. We obtained the knockout mutant P. putida LN6160 with the deletion of these genes and showed that the absence of these genes reduces mobility and biofilm formation (40% lower after 72 h) in the mutant. At the same time, we noted the positive effect of these deletions on the growth of the mutant strain on rich medium (1.39 × 10<sup>10</sup> CFU/mL in the mutant and 6.4 × 10<sup>9</sup> CFU/mL in the wild type) and on mineral medium (6.11 × 10<sup>9</sup> CFU/mL in the mutant and 1.36 × 10<sup>9</sup> CFU/mL in the wild type) by growing them in small-volume bioreactors. A significant decrease in the biofilm and the foam formation was also observed for LN6160 in a small-volume bioreactor. Most probably, the rapid growth of the deletion strain occurs due to a decrease in the energy load on the bacterial apparatus. |
