✦ Synopsis

The nif cistrons indentified by complementation analysis in the preceding paper (Dixon et al., 1977) were mapped with respect to hisD and to each other other by P1 cotransduction and three-factor reciprocal crosses. The order obrained was hisD nifB nifA (nifL) nifF nifE nifK nifD nifH. Analysis of hisD2-nif cotransduction data by the Wu equation (Wu, 1966) suggested that the nif genes are divided into two clusters: a his-proximal cluster comprising nifBA(L)F and a his-distal group of nifEKDH.

Some restriction endonuclease fragments of nif DNA, when carried on small multicopy plasmids, inhibited nif expression in Klebsiella pneumoniae. A study of this inhibitory effect revealed, (1) that overproduction of the nifL gene product inhibited transcription of two nif operons examined, nifJ and

A series of mutants defective in nitrogen fixation (nif) were isolated in Klebsiella pneumoniae strain M5a1. The nif mutations were either located on plasmid pRD1 or on the K. pneumoniae chromosome. A total of 37 plasmid mutants and 28 chromosomal mutants were employed in complementation tests using
