In Klebsiella pneumoniae the gene products involved in the degradation of the ketose L-sorbose are encoded in the sor operon. It comprises, besides structural genes for uptake and catabolism, a promoter-proximal gene sorC, encoding a protein SorC of Mr 40 kDa, for which no enzymatic function has bee

Chromosomal DNA restriction fragments carrying the nitrogen fixation (niJ) and his genes of Klebsiella pneumoniae were identified in hybridization experiments using a plasmid derived from pRD1 as a radioactive probe. Restriction mapping of 26 genetically characterized chromosomal nif deletions provi
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.

A generally applicable method is described for reintroduction of mutant plasmid-borne alleles to the chromosome of Klebsiella pneumoniae using bacteriophage 2. We,used this method to make stable chromosomal transposon insertions in genes for biosynthesis of pyrroloquinoline quinone in K. pneumoniae
We have determined the sequence of the lamB gene from Klebsiella pneumoniae. It encodes the precursor to the LamB protein, a 429 amino acid polypeptide with maltoporin function. Comparison with the Escherichia coli LamB protein reveals a high degree of homology, with 325 residues strictly identical.
