Three genes hemE, hemF, hemG taking part in the porphyrin biosynthesis of Baccillus subtilis were mapped by two- and three-factor transduction crosses. The gene hemE determines uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.37) the gene hemF coproporphyrinogen oxidase (EC 1.3.3.3) and the gene hemG ferroc

✦ Synopsis
The gene hemD taking part in the formation of uroporphyrinogen III from porphobilinogen was mapped by two- and three-factor transduction crosses in Bacillus subtilis. This gene codes uroporphyrinogen III cosynthase. The gene hemD is linked to the hemA locus and is located between the hemA and pheA loci.

polC, the gene specifying the structure of the replication-specific DNA polymerase III of B. subtilis, was mapped by exploiting azp-12, a mutation conferring resistance to azopyrimidine which determines a mutant, azopyrimidine-resistant enzyme. azp-12 was located in the area of the pyrA locus and is
We have mapped the chromosomal locus of rpoD, which encodes the major sigma factor of Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase. The rpoD locus lay between aroD and lys, tightly linked to dnaE and inseparable from crsA. Marker order in this region was acf-aroD-dnaE-rpoD(crsA)-spoOG-lys. By transformation usi
Using mutants of Bacillus subtilis with alterations in the small subunit ribosomal proteins $6 and S16, the corresponding genes were mapped, rpsF was located between purA and cysA, close to the origin of replication. rpsP was located near pyrD, at about 135 degrees on the linkage map. The distributi
