Genes coding for enzymes functioning in purine salvage pathways have been located on the chromosome of Escherichia coli. The gene add encoding adenosine deaminase was located by transduction at 31 min, the gene order was established to be man-uidA-add-aroD. A deletion covering man-uidA-add was obtai

β¦ Synopsis
Results concerning the precise location of the ompT gene (encoding the outer membrane protease OmpT) on the Escherichia coli chromosome were obtained which disagree with published restriction sites in the gene. It is shown that the gene, together with appY, is present on a 3.075 PstI fragment, encompassing positions 596-598 of the E. coli physical map.

The amounts of cytochrome b556 in the cytoplasmic membranes of several Escherichia coli K12 strains having F-prime factors and a lambda transducing phage were determined. The amount was amplified about two-fold in strains having F100-12 and F152, but not in strains having F100-11, F8 and lambda psu+
The directions of replication of several prophages integrated with a known orientation in the vicinity of the terminus (tre) of chromosome replication (trp::Mu, min 27; lambda rev integrated within rac, min 31, man::Mu, min 35), have been established by determining the molecular polarity of Okazaki
A precise genetic-physical map of the tnailv region at 82 rain on the genetic map of E. coli is obtained through deletion mapping and analysis by restriction endonuclease EcoRI of plasmids, derived from an F ~ carrying the genes between aroE and ilv. A locus, designated het, which in its diploid st
Several mutants unable to utilize trehalose were isolated from Escherichia coli, Their genetic analysis led to determine the following gene order on the chromosomal map: pur B-dad R-tre-hem a-trp. Furthermore, the tre gene belongs to the inversion of the trp chromosomal region between E. coli and S.
