The lysA gene of Escherichia coli has been cloned from a lambda transducing phage on various plasmids, present in different copy numbers in bacterial cells. Synthesis of the product of this gene, diaminopimelate (DAP)-decarboxylase, and its regulation have been studied. Expression does not follow a

✦ Synopsis
In vitro recombination techniques were used to clone the Escherichia coli thrA and thrB structural genes in the plasmid vector pBR322. The chimeric plasmid was analyzed and characterized genetically, by restriction mapping and DNA sequencing. The limited expression of the threonine biosynthetic enzymes in the strain carrying the recombinant plasmid is discussed.

Plasmid pserB59-1 carries the E. coli serB gene on a 5.2 kb BamHI fragment cloned into the BamHI site of plasmid pBR322. The results of genetic and biochemical experiments established that a functional serB gene is contained in the fragment. The location of the serB gene within the insert was determ
The E. coli recA gene was cloned from the phage lambda precA into the vector pBR313. A plasmid, pJL3, was also isolated by cloning a portion of the recA gene into the vector pBR322. pJL3 coded for a fragment of the recA protein 34 Kd (kilodaltons) in size (compared to 40 Kd for the intact protein).
A technique is presented by which mutations can be introduced into the Escherichia coli chromosome by gene replacement between the chromosome and a plasmid carrying the mutant gene. The segregational instability of plasmids in E. coli is used with high efficiency to isolate E. coli mutants. The meth
Northern blot analysis of glucose-grown and starch-grown mycelia of Aspergillus oryzae RIB40 was conducted using the cloned Taka-amylase A (TAA) gene as a probe. The amount of mRNA homologous to the TAA gene was increased when this fungus was grown with starch as a sole carbon source. In order to an
