Vitreoscilla hemoglobin is involved in oxygen metabolism of this bacterium, possibly in an unusual role for a microbe. We have isolated the Vitreoscilla hemoglobin structural gene from a pUC19 genomic library using mixed oligodeoxy-nucleotide probes based on the reported amino acid sequence of the p

โฆ Synopsis
The genetic organisation of the ruv gene, a component of the SOS system for DNA repair and recombination in Eseheriehia toll, was investigated. New point mutations as well as insertions and deletions were generated using transposon TnlO inserted in eda as a linked marker for site specific mutagenesis, or directly as a mutagen. The mutations were ordered with respect to one another and previously isolated ruv alleles by means of transductional crosses. The direction of chromosome mobilization from ruv : : Mud(ApRlac) strains carrying F42lae + established that ruv is transcribed in a counterclockwise direction. Recombinant 2 phages able to restore UV resistance to ruv mutants were identified, and the ruv + region was subcloned into a low copy number plasmid. The ruv + plasmid was able to correct the extreme radiation sensitivity and recombination deficiency of ruv reeBC sbcB strains.

Using methods of in vitro recombination we constructed hybrid plasmids that can suppress the increased methylmethane sulfonate sensitivity caused by alkB mutation. Since the cloned DNA fragment was mapped at 47 rain on the Escherichia coli K12 genetic map, an area where the alkB gene is located, we
Mutations in the fnr gene of Escherichia coli have pleiotrophic effects leading to deficiencies in the reduction of fumarate and nitrate, hydrogen production and the ability to grow anaerobically with fumarate or nitrate as terminal electron acceptors. Transducing phages (lambda fnr) carrying the wi
The Escherichia coli HU-1 was cloned by use of mixed synthetic oligonucleotides (17-mer) predicted from a portion of its amino acid sequence. The amino acid sequence of the HU-1 protein deduced from the nucleotide sequence is in good agreement with the published sequence. The nucleotide sequence has
A segment of the Escherichia coli genome which complements the ionising radiation sensitivity of the rorB mutation was cloned into pBR322. This DNA segment also complements the mitomycin C sensitivity of the rorB mutation. The gene was subcloned until defined in a fragment of 1.05 kb. Only one gene
