A putative temperature-sensitive transcription mutant described earlier (Jabbar and Jayaraman, 1976) has been genetically mapped. The locus maps at 38 min to the left of aroD. The mutation is recessive to the wild type and it affects a gene probably other than the genes coding for the alpha and beta
Among temperature resistant revertants of a temperature sensitive E. Coli alanyl-tRNA synthetase mutant a strain was found which contains an alanyl-tRNA synthetase with an additional mutation in the structural gene of the enzyme. This mutant enzyme has a 9 or 38 fold decreased Km value for alanine c
The dam gene of E. coli can be inactivated by insertion of Tn9 or Mud phage. Strains bearing these mutations are viable indicating that the dam gene product is dispensable.
