β¦ Synopsis
Several conditional lethal mutants of Escherichia coli have been analysed genetically using generalized transduction and lambda transducing vectors. Three temperature-sensitive ftsE mutants were found as was a cold-sensitive ftsE mutant. A new gene was found which mapped close to ftsE, namely ftsS. Both cell division genes map close to the gene which controls the heat-shock regulon (htpR).

Temperature-sensitive mutants harbouring alterations in ribosomal proteins L28 and L33 have been isolated and used in mapping the genes coding for the two proteins. It was found that they mapped very close to each other and near pyrE at 80.7 min on the E. coli genetic map. The genes affected by the
A 24 kilobase pair region of the E. coli chromosome surrounding the dnaG gene has been cloned and characterized. A lambda phage library was constructed by ligating a Sau3A( decreases GATC) partial DNA digest of the entire E. coli chromosome into the lambda BamHI(G decreases GATCC) cloning vector cha
