β¦ Synopsis
A new ribosomal mutant resistant to erythromycin is described. The product of the gene eryC seems to be implicated in the assembly of the two ribosomal subunits, particularly in the maturation process of the RNA 23S and 16S.

A temperature sensitive mutant of Escherichia coli which fails to recover from prolonged carbon starvation, was found to be irreversibly killed by exposure to a nonpermissive temperature (43 degrees C), with a half-life of about half an hour. This bacteriocidal effect of the temperature could be rev
A method to obtain amber mutations in ribosomal protein genes is described. tit relies on the P1-mediated localized mutagenesis (Hong and Ames, 1971) and on the fact that the recipient strain contains (a) an efficient but genetically unstable suppressor, (b) a particular thermoinducible lambda proph
A strain of Escherichia coli, VT, which spontaneously gives rise to mutations in many ribosomal proteins, has been used in conjunction with chemical mutagenesis and varying the subsequent incubation temperature to select mutants which have alterations in every ribosomal protein amenable to analysis
