A genetic study of mutants deficient in hydrogenase activity was performed. In E. coli, the affected gene (hyd) is located at 51 min, between cys C and nal B; in S. typhimurium, it probably lies in the homologous region of the chromosome.
A genetic method was devised to test the hypothesis that in some cysteine or methionine requiring (cym) mutants of Salmonella typhimurium suppression of auxotrophy is due to an insertion at the site of the cym mutation. It was found that suppressed strains have an insertion of about 9kb in the cysCD
The nadR locus (99 min) controls the transcription of several genes involved with either the biosynthesis (nadAB) or recycling (pncB) of NAD in Salmonella typhimurium. Point mutations in this locus were found to cause defects either in the transport of nicotinamide mononucleotide (PnuA-), the regula
