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.
PhoS64 is a mutation in the Phosphate Specific Transport (PST) region on the E. coli chromosome which lacks the periplasmic phosphate binding protein. In contrast to other phoS mutations (which have the same phenotype) it complements the mutations in phoT and pstB. A detailed genetic map of the PST
The firA200 mutation of E. coli not only renders RNA synthesis thermosensitive but also eliminates the high-level resistance to rifampicin associated with certain mutations in the beta subunit of the RNA polymerase. A priori, the firA gene is likely to code for an essential component of the transcri
The firA gene probably codes for an essential component of the transcription machinery in E. coli. Bacterial proteins coded by lambdafirA transducing phages have been examined after infection of a UV-irradiated lambda lysogen, and 2 major fir-specific proteins have been characterized. The larger pro
