Two factor transductional crosses place recF at approximately 82 min on the E. coli chromosome; recF is highly cotransducible with dnaA and gyrB (cou). Transductional analysis with a series of lambda tna specialized transducing phages carrying chromosomal DNA from the tnaA region place recF between

β¦ Synopsis
The pepN gene has been cloned into the multicopy plasmid pBR322. The restriction map of the insert was established and the gene was localized. By comparison with the restriction map of the plasmid pJP30 bearing the ompF region, it has been possible to order the ompF, asnS, and pepN genes. The ompF and asnS genes are contiguous and pepN is separated from asnS by a DNA fragment of about 1.6 kb.

A set of lambdadilv phage has been examined that carry overlapping segments of isoleucine-valine structural and regulatory genes derived from the ilv cluster at 83 min on the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome. The ilv genes present in these phage, and their order, have been determined by transduction
The pepN gene, that encodes aminopeptidase N in Escherichia coli, has been cloned into the multicopy plasmid pBR322. Expression of the cloned pepN gene results in overproduction of the enzyme. The restriction map of the 6.7 Kb insert was established and the gene was further localized by analysis of
Temperature-sensitive mutants that filamented at the non-permissive temperature were isolated by specific mutagenesis of the terminus region of the Escherichia coli chromosome. Two of them, mapping at about 35 min, failed to divide due to inhibition of DNA replication. Further characterization indic
