From cultures of sensitive bacteria, treated with the antibiotic streptozotocin, two classes of resistant mutants can be isolated: 1) mutants, resistant under all the conditions tested to even the highest doses of the antibiotic. These are either pleiotropic-defective, pts-mutants, or more frequentl

Mutations in the cysB and cysE genes of Escherichia coli K12 cause an increase in resistance to the gyrase inhibitor novobiocin but not to coumermycin, acriflavine and rifampicin. This unusual relationship was also observed among spontaneous novobiocin resistant (Novr) mutants: 10% of Novr mutants i
Mutants with a feedback resistant N-acetylglutamate synthase have been isolated from a proA/B, argD, argR strain by screening for proline excretion on minimal medium with arginine. The feedback resistant character of three mutants was transduced into an argA (N-acetylglutamate synthase negative) str
Entry of DNA from lambda phages particles into lambdarMAl- mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 is shown to be due to two distinguishable processes. One, residual transduction, results from a low level expression of lamB. The other one, background transduction, is independent of gene lamB. Interpretatio
E. coli wild type bacteria display sensitivity towards serine. A selection medium is described which allows selection of serine resistant mutants. One such mutant is described which presents pleiotropic alterations: it exhibits a thermosensitive growth pattern, alteration in the metabolism of the pp
