Temperature-sensitive mutants of Escherichia coli that are unable to grow at high temperature can be obtained among those selected for resistance to streptovaricin or rifampicin at low temperature (Yura et al., 1973). One of these mutants (KY5323) that was supposed to carry a single mutation affecti

Three temperature-sensitive mutant strains for RNA polymerase beta or beta' subunits (carrying mutations tsx, A2R7 and R120) were used in order to investigate the dependence of the induced lac expression on stimulation by cyclic AMP after the shift to non-permissive temperature. High temperature low
A number of spontaneous rifampicin-resistant (RIP) mutants were isolated from a strain of E. coli having a deletion in the lac proA proB region of the chromosome. The stability of a F'lac proA proB episome in these mutants was determined by their sensitivity to acridine orange curing and the frequen
A mutant of Escherichia coli K12 is described in which sigma and alpha subunits of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6) are produced at the rates much higher than in the normal strain. The rate of synthesis for sigma subunit was found to be at least 10-times higher, though the rapid degrada
