Mutants of Escherichia coli resistant to nitrofurantoin have been isolated. The mutations, designated nfnA and nfnB were introduced individually into a multiply auxotrophic E. coli F- strain and mapped by conjugation and transduction. nfnA is located at 79.8 min and nfnB at 13.0 min on the E. coli c
Many mutant strains devoid of aminopeptidase activity have been isolated in Escherichia coli. All of them produce cross-reacting material when tested against specific antiaminopeptidase antibody. The map position of the locus specifying this enzyme has been determined by three conjugations and two P
To identify the nature and origin of spontaneous mutability we developed a screening procedure suitable to isolate antimutators showing a lower error rate than 10-10 per base per replication. Among about 500,000 mutagenized colonies we found 20 mutants showing a reduced spontaneous mutability. These
A new type of Escherichia coli K12 phoB mutant was isolated as 5-fluorouracil-plus-adenosine-resistant derivatives of a upp phoS,T strain. Such phoB mutants (called type III) differ from previously described phoB mutants (types I and II) in the synthesis pattern of phosphate-regulated periplasmic pr
