β¦ Synopsis
An Escherichia coli mutant has been isolated (Hek) in which the kil gene of bacteriophage Mu is not functionally expressed. The hek locus has been mapped between rpoD (66.2 min) and argR (69.5 min) on the E. coli chromosome. No influence of the hek mutation on phage or E. coli development could be detected.

Gene libraries from the magnetotactic bacterium, Aquaspirillum magnetotacticum were constructed in Escherichia coli with cosmids pLAFR3 and c2RB as vectors. Recombinant cosmids able to complement the thr-1, leuB, and proA mutations of the host were identified. The Pro+ recombinant cosmid restored wi
Hybrid plasmids were constructed by combining in vitro the Escherichia coli plasmid pGA22, which carries the genes determining resistance to kanamycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol and ampicillin, with the cryptic plasmids, pCG1 and pCG2, of Corynebacterium glutamicum. The hybrid plasmids were intr
The production of several non-related heterologous proteins in recombinant Escherichia coli cells promotes a significant transcription of recA and sfiA SOS DNA repair genes. The activation of the SOS system occurs when the expression of plasmid-encoded genes is directed by the strong lambda lytic pr
