β¦ Synopsis
When arsenate-resistant mutants are selected approximately 50 per cent of them are also consitutive for the synthesis of alkaline phosphatase and the Pi-binding protein. Some of these mutants are linked to ilv (phoS- or phoT-), other are linked to proC (phoR-). One of the mutant strains linked to ilv lost the Pi-binding protein (the phoS gene product). Resistance to arsenate, constitutivty for alkaline phosphatase synthesis and loss of the Pi-binding protein occurred pleiotropically by the same phoS- mutation.

Mutants of Escherichia coli resistant to nitrofurantoin have been isolated. The mutations, designated nfnA and nfnB were introduced individually into a multiply auxotrophic E. coli F- strain and mapped by conjugation and transduction. nfnA is located at 79.8 min and nfnB at 13.0 min on the E. coli c
Four mutants of Escherichia coli KL16 resistant to the antibiotic Thiolutin have been isolated. This drug was earlier reported to be an inhibitor of RNA chain elongation. The first mutant, TLrI, is resistant only in rich or partially rich media: it can, however, grow in minimal medium containing the
## Abstract The apramycinβresistant mutants of __E. coli__ were isolated spontaneously. Mutations, __aprA__ and __aprB__, conferring resistance to apramycin were located at 72 min on the __E. coli__ genetic map where most of ribosomal genes were mapped. One of the mutants, carrying the __aprB__ mut
