β¦ Synopsis
The sequence of three genes involved in cell division in E. coli has been determined to be ftsA-envA-azi by three-point transduction experiments. An ftsA envA double mutant strain forms filaments at the restrictive temperature of 42 degrees C, and not chains, but, like the chain forming envA parent strain, is hypersensitive to rifampicin.

Specific xylose utilization mutants of Escherichia coli were isolated that had altered xylose isomerase ( xylA ), xylulokinase ( xylB ), and regulatory ( xylR ) or transport ( xylT ) activities. We screened the Clarke and Carbon E. coli gene bank and one clone, pLC10 -15, was found to complement the
The bifunctional enzyme imidazoleglycerolphosphate dehydratase and histidinolphosphate phosphatase is encoded by the hisB gene. The fourth gene of the histidine operon, hisB, was cloned and mapped on a 2,300 base pair DNA fragment. In the present study we report the complete nucleotide sequence of t
A segment of the Escherichia coli genome which complements the ionising radiation sensitivity of the rorB mutation was cloned into pBR322. This DNA segment also complements the mitomycin C sensitivity of the rorB mutation. The gene was subcloned until defined in a fragment of 1.05 kb. Only one gene
Anaerobic carnitine metabolism in Escherichia coli was recently shown to involve six genes organized in the cai operon and located at the first minute on the chromosome. The DNA sequence lying at the 5' end of the cai locus was further investigated. It contains four open reading frames organized as
