Phage MudII301 was used to isolate new periplasmic-leaky mutants of Escherichia coli K12 carrying an lkyB-lacZ gene fusion. The properties of strain JC2299 carrying the lkyB-2299 insertion mutation were identical to those of strain JC207 carrying the previously described lkyB-207 mutation. The LkyB-

โฆ Synopsis
The expression of the Escherichia coli uvrD gene was studied with a uvrD::Mud(Aprlac) insertion mutant, The results indicate that it is inducible by DNA damaging agents in a recA + gene-dependent manner.

A mutant strain of E. coli displaying altered regulation of the recA gene was isolated as a revertant of a lexA3 recA200 double mutant which showed improved DNA repair and recombination functions. The mutation (alc-24) was located between srl and recA200 and caused synthesis of high levels of recA p
In Escherichia coli the iron uptake systems are regulated by the fur gene product. The synthesis of the outer membrane proteins fiu, fepA, fecA, fhuA, fhuE and cir is derepressed at low iron concentrations in the medium or constitutive in a fur mutant. The fur gene region cloned into pACYC184 was an
We have isolated a strain carrying a fusion of the beta-galactosidase structural gene to the promoter of the uxuR regulatory gene with the aid of the Casadaban Mud (Aprlac) phage. Analysis of mutants with deletions that were derived from the uxuR::Mud1 insertion strain confirmed the counterclockwise
