A new type of Escherichia coli K12 phoB mutant was isolated as 5-fluorouracil-plus-adenosine-resistant derivatives of a upp phoS,T strain. Such phoB mutants (called type III) differ from previously described phoB mutants (types I and II) in the synthesis pattern of phosphate-regulated periplasmic pr

β¦ Synopsis
Mutants with a feedback resistant N-acetylglutamate synthase have been isolated from a proA/B, argD, argR strain by screening for proline excretion on minimal medium with arginine. The feedback resistant character of three mutants was transduced into an argA (N-acetylglutamate synthase negative) strain. It was cotransducible with argA at a frequency of greater than 99%. N-acetylglutamate synthase extracted from the three mutants was approximately one hundred times less sensitive to L-arginine than the enzyme from the feedback sensitive parent strain.

A method was developed for the isolation of spontaneous mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 with deletions extending from the srl operon to the adjacent recA gene. The srl-recA deletion mutants were extremely sensitive to dNA-damaging agents; unable to support growth of the feckless red gam mutant lamb
An Escherichia coli K12 mutant resistant to thymineless death (TLD) was isolated, and its genetic analysis led us to identify a new mutation (recQ1) located between corA and metE on the standard linkage map. The mutation was found to result in increased sensitivity to ultraviolet light and deficienc
