A set of lambdadilv phage has been examined that carry overlapping segments of isoleucine-valine structural and regulatory genes derived from the ilv cluster at 83 min on the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome. The ilv genes present in these phage, and their order, have been determined by transduction
Several conditional lethal mutants of Escherichia coli have been analysed genetically using generalized transduction and lambda transducing vectors. Three temperature-sensitive ftsE mutants were found as was a cold-sensitive ftsE mutant. A new gene was found which mapped close to ftsE, namely ftsS.
Several mutants unable to utilize trehalose were isolated from Escherichia coli, Their genetic analysis led to determine the following gene order on the chromosomal map: pur B-dad R-tre-hem a-trp. Furthermore, the tre gene belongs to the inversion of the trp chromosomal region between E. coli and S.
The pepN gene has been cloned into the multicopy plasmid pBR322. The restriction map of the insert was established and the gene was localized. By comparison with the restriction map of the plasmid pJP30 bearing the ompF region, it has been possible to order the ompF, asnS, and pepN genes. The ompF a
