✦ Synopsis

Discrepancies between our mapping data concerning the cdd and gat marker of Escherichia coli and data obtained by Josephsen et al. (1983) as well as with the current linkage map of Escherichia coli (Bachmann 1983) led us to reinvestigate the mapping of markers in the gyrA-his region by P1 transduction. In addition, we isolated Hfr strains by integrating the temperature-sensitive F'ts114lac+ episome via lac homology of cir'lacZ and mgl'lacZ fusions into the chromosome. From the results of the P1 transductions and using these Hfr strains as donors in crosses it became clear that the transcription of cir and mgl is the same and counterclockwise on the chromosome, with cdd and gat as the counterclockwise markers to mgl and cir. We conclude that our previously published sequence of markers was incorrect and is in fact inverted. The present data indicate the following sequence of markers in clockwise order: his gat cdd mgl cir fpk gyrA.

A series of deletions, Mu insertions and point mutations affecting the malK-lamB operon have been isolated. They were used to establish a deletion map of this operon, which could be divided in 27 intervals, with 16 in malK and 11 in lamB. One interesting feature of this map is the lack of randomness

Starting with a strain containing a malK-lacZ fusion, a series of lambda plaque-forming phages which carry varying amounts of the malE,F operon have been isolated. We have used these phages to construct a deletion map of the malE,F operon. The construction of this deletion map has led to the identif

A correlation between the genetic and physical maps of the malB region was obtained by performing a restriction cleavage analysis of DNA's carrying various genetically characterized malB deletions. This also allowed to localize the boundaries between malF and malE, malE and malK, mal K and lamB on t
