We have previously shown that resistance to the beta-lactam mecillinam in Escherichia coli can be brought about by a high ppGpp pool, as observed under conditions of partial amino acid starvation and RelA-dependent induction of the stringent response. We show here that our E. coli wild-type strain,
Escherichia coli were isolated and screened for altered ribosomal proteins and functions. Amongst 58 strains investigated by electrophoresis one had an altered ribosomal protein $7, another one a mutated L14 and two showed altered L15 proteins. A correlation between these alterations and lincomycin
E. coli K-12 recipient mutants defective in conjugation with a F donor (ConF- mutants) were tested for recipient ability with donor strains carrying a R1drd19, R100-1 or R144drd3 plasmid. It appeared from these tests that F and R1 donor strains are closely related in mating in that they both, unlike
