The dedB gene of Escherichia coli has sequence similarity to the zfpA gene of the chloroplast chromosome. The functions of dedB and zfpA are unknown. We constructed derivatives of temperature-sensitive polA strains into whose chromosomes a plasmid containing the disrupted dedB gene was integrated by

An Escherichia coli mutant has been isolated (Hek) in which the kil gene of bacteriophage Mu is not functionally expressed. The hek locus has been mapped between rpoD (66.2 min) and argR (69.5 min) on the E. coli chromosome. No influence of the hek mutation on phage or E. coli development could be d
Gene libraries from the magnetotactic bacterium, Aquaspirillum magnetotacticum were constructed in Escherichia coli with cosmids pLAFR3 and c2RB as vectors. Recombinant cosmids able to complement the thr-1, leuB, and proA mutations of the host were identified. The Pro+ recombinant cosmid restored wi
