Host capacity for growth of single-stranded DNA phages was investigated with several replication mutants of E. coli. In dnaL708, dnam709 and dnaS707 mutants, multiplication of phiK was not restricted even at 42 degree C. In dnaM710 cells, however, growth of phiK was severely effected at 42 degree C

The properties of minicell producing mutants of Escherichia coli deficient in gentic recombination were examined. Experiments were designed to test recombinant formation in conjugal crosses, survival following UV-irradiation in cells, and the state of DNA metabolism in minicells. The REC- phenotypes
Ten out of 43 missense mutations in the lacZ gene of Escherchia coli gave rise to polypeptide chains that were degraded in vivo. While many of the mutants appeared to be fully or partially CRM-, there appeared to be no obvious correlation between degradation, map position, altered subunit associatio
Specific transformation of a rifampicin sensitive strain ofEscherichia coli to rifampicin resistance has been performed by a single, defined DNA restriction fragment carrying the genetic information for the /3 subunit of E. coli RNA polymerase. In this transformation the transforming genetic charact
