The phenomenon of glucose catabolite repression was studied in Escherichia coli mutants unable to transport this carbohydrate. The pts I,H mutant P34 was much less sensitive to permanent and transient repressive effect of glucose on beta-galactosidase synthesis than parental type. The 1103 mutant wi
Five mutants (called tnm) of Escherichia coli with impaired ability for transposition of Tn9 were isolated after treatment with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NG). The map locations of the tnm mutations were determined by a combination of Hfr matings, F' episom
A class of F' plasmids, designated Fpoh+, was previously shown to be able to replicate extra-chromosomally on Hfr strains by virtue of carrying the specific site or region poh+ (permissive on Hfr) of the E. coli chromosome (Hiraga, 1975, 1976a). These plasmids were now found to replicate on E. coli
Two routes of one-carbon biosynthesis have been described in Escherichia coli K12. One is from serine via the serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) reaction, and the other is from glycine via the glycine cleavage (GCV) enzyme system. To isolate mutants deficient in the GCV pathway, we used a select
