The nif cistrons indentified by complementation analysis in the preceding paper (Dixon et al., 1977) were mapped with respect to hisD and to each other other by P1 cotransduction and three-factor reciprocal crosses. The order obrained was hisD nifB nifA (nifL) nifF nifE nifK nifD nifH. Analysis of h

Chromosomal DNA restriction fragments carrying the nitrogen fixation (niJ) and his genes of Klebsiella pneumoniae were identified in hybridization experiments using a plasmid derived from pRD1 as a radioactive probe. Restriction mapping of 26 genetically characterized chromosomal nif deletions provi
In Klebsiella pneumoniae the gene products involved in the degradation of the ketose L-sorbose are encoded in the sor operon. It comprises, besides structural genes for uptake and catabolism, a promoter-proximal gene sorC, encoding a protein SorC of Mr 40 kDa, for which no enzymatic function has bee
Some restriction endonuclease fragments of nif DNA, when carried on small multicopy plasmids, inhibited nif expression in Klebsiella pneumoniae. A study of this inhibitory effect revealed, (1) that overproduction of the nifL gene product inhibited transcription of two nif operons examined, nifJ and
