In accord with the observations of other workers, unselected marker analysis of Escherichia coli K-12 transconjugants isolated from matings involving several different Hfr strains as donors has shown that most genetic exchanges are clustered either near the selected marker or near the origin of the
R factors of the N incompatibility group apparently transfer at low frequencies (often 10(-6)-10(-5) per donor cell) in 30 min liquid matings. However, the level of transfer is greatly increased when donor-recipient mixtures are held on solid medium selective for the recipient only, prior to transco
Conjugational recombination in Escherichia coli was investigated by measuring lacZ+ product, beta-galactosidase, in crosses between lacZ mutants. Enzyme production in both Hfr and F-prime crosses was detected very soon after transfer of the donor lacZ allele. The level of enzyme activity was reduced
Using a modified lambda phage as a vector and a procedure developed in Dr. C. Schnaitman's laboratory, we have cloned the structural gene for protein K from an Escherichia coli K1 strain to an E coli K-12 strain. The cloned inserts consist of two HindIII fragments, 4 kb and 6.5 kb in size. The prote
