Mutation of the ruv gene of E. coli is associated with sensitivity to radiation, and filamentous growth after transient inhibition of DNA synthesis. The filamentation of ruv strains is abolished by mutations in sfiA or sfiB that prevent SOS induced inhibition of cell division, but this does not rest
The dam gene of E. coli can be inactivated by insertion of Tn9 or Mud phage. Strains bearing these mutations are viable indicating that the dam gene product is dispensable.
The effects of a pleiotropic mutation ssd are described. This mutation results in decreased efficiency in the use of glucose and fructose as carbon source, inability to use succinate or to grow anaerobically, an alteration in the activity of enzymes responsible for the synthesis and degradation of L
Insertion sites of the transposable element IS186 were physically mapped in the genome of E. coli K12 strain BHB2600. This strain maintains four IS186 copies of which three, assigned to 0.3, 14.1 and 51.8 map min., share common map positions with the three IS186 copies in strains W3110 and HB101. Th
