The location of genes in the vicinity of the major FP2 origin on the chromosome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO has been revised. The markers hisl (a transduction group of histidine biosynthetic genes) and pru (a gene cluster encoding proline utilization functions) were located in the 90 to 95/0 min c

β¦ Synopsis
Genetic mapping of the genes (puu) that encode the enzymes catalysing degradation of purines in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO has been carried out. Mutants that are deficient in adenine deaminase (puuA), guanine deaminase (puuB), xanthine dehydrogenase (puuC), uricase (puuD), allantoinase (puuE), and/or allantoicase (puuF) were isolated and used for the genetic study. Conjugation by FP5 factor and generalized transduction by phage G101 gave the following map locations of these six genes on the chromosome: hisI--puuB--hisII; trpA,B--puuA--ilv202; met9011--catA1--tyu--nar9011--(puuC, puuD, puuE)--puuF. A close linkage among the puuC, puuD and puuE was demonstrated by the transduction.

Three loci coding for different steps in the pathway of cysteine biosynthesis have been mapped by R68.45-mediated coconjugation analysis. The cysteine auxotrophic mutants could be subdivided into sulfite and sulfide-requiring mutants. Sulfide-requiring mutants (cysIV group) were localized at a singl
Genes coding for enzymes functioning in purine salvage pathways have been located on the chromosome of Escherichia coli. The gene add encoding adenosine deaminase was located by transduction at 31 min, the gene order was established to be man-uidA-add-aroD. A deletion covering man-uidA-add was obtai
The amidase genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were inserted into a lambda replacement vector following cleavage with the restriction endonuclease HindIII. The recombinant lambdaami was detected by enhanced growth of Escherichia coli around plaques of the recombinant phage on minimal medium containing
