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
The hemA gene of Escherichia coli K12 was cloned by complementation of a hemA mutant of this organism. Subcloning of the initial 6.0 kb HindIII fragment allowed the isolation of a 1.5 kb NheI-AvaI fragment which retained the ability to complement the hemA mutant. DNA sequencing by the dideoxy chain
Mutations affecting the glycogen biosynthesis in E. coli can be mapped at three different loci, glg A, glg B and glg C lying between asd and mal A. Transduction tests suggest the following order for the genes in this region: mal A--glg A--glg C--glg B--asd.
