The recQ gene of Escherichia coli K12 was subcloned from plasmid pKO1 (Oeda et al. 1981) by monitoring the capacity of the resulting recombinant plasmids partially to reverse the increased ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity of a reeF143 recQ1 double mutant. We were able to trace this complementation activ

A method to obtain amber mutations in ribosomal protein genes is described. tit relies on the P1-mediated localized mutagenesis (Hong and Ames, 1971) and on the fact that the recipient strain contains (a) an efficient but genetically unstable suppressor, (b) a particular thermoinducible lambda proph
A mutant of E. coli has been isolated that is temperature-sensitive in respect of tryptophanase. When incubated at 60 degrees C, cell-free extracts of the mutant suffer inactivation of enzyme activity much more rapidly than similar extracts of the wild type. After lysogeny with a specialized transdu
Several mutants unable to utilize trehalose were isolated from Escherichia coli, Their genetic analysis led to determine the following gene order on the chromosomal map: pur B-dad R-tre-hem a-trp. Furthermore, the tre gene belongs to the inversion of the trp chromosomal region between E. coli and S.
