Previous findings suggested that cyclic AMP was involved in the regulation of ilvB(AHASI) only and that ilvG (AHASII) and ilvHI (AHASIII) were not controlled by this nucleotide. In this study, derepression patterns of total AHAS activities (ilvB and ilvHI) in adenyl cyclasenegative strains (i.e. cya

A mutation affecting alanine-alpha-ketoisovalerate transaminase activity has been shown to be cotransducible with ilv gene cluster. The transaminase deficiency results in conditional isoleucine auxotrophy in the presence of alanine.
Mutants of E. coli, completely devoid of nitrite reductase activity with glucose or formate as donor were studied. Biochemical analysis indicates that they are simultaneously affected in nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, fumarate reductase and hydrogenase activities as well as in cytochrome C552
A strain carrying the ilv0603 mutation has been isolated in E. coli K-12 and its characteristics were found to be very similar to those previously reported by Ramakrishnan and Adelberg (1965a) for other ilv0 mutants. The strain carrying the ilv0603 mutation is resistant to valine inhibition (Valr) a
We describe mutants of Escherichia coli that decrease the plasmid copy number of pBR322 derivatives. One mutant was partially characterized genetically and its mutation, designated pcnB for plasmid copy number, was mapped to approximately 3 rain on the E. coli chromosome. This locus is distinct from
A method for the positive selection of dadA mutants defective in D-amino acid dehydrogenase has been devised, It consists in isolating mutants resistant to fi-chloro-D-alanine and screening for mutant colony color on a special agar medium. All 70 Escheriehia coti Kt2 dadA mutants isolated either by
