A series of temperature-resistant revertants were isolated from strains of Escherichia coli K12 carrying a temperature-sensitive mutation in the dnaA gene. Four independent revertants were found which still carry the original ts mutation. The ability of these strains to grow at high temperature is d

When a culture of the gyrB41-ts mutant is shifted to the nonpermissive temperature, DNA synthesis is arrested at the initiation phase of chromosome replication. After thermal inactivation of the gyrB gene product reinitiation occurs in the presence of chloramphenicol but not in the presence of rifam
A class of rpoB mutations is described which suppresses replication and transcription deficiency in gyrB-ts mutants shifted to a nonpermissive temperature. The compensatory effect of an altered subunit B of RNA polymerase (rpoB) for the gyrB defect, indicates that transcription is a primary target o
