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
E. coli wild type bacteria display sensitivity towards serine. A selection medium is described which allows selection of serine resistant mutants. One such mutant is described which presents pleiotropic alterations: it exhibits a thermosensitive growth pattern, alteration in the metabolism of the pp
Thermosensitive mutants of E. coli defective in DNA replication were tested for their capacity to support multiplication of phiA and phiX174. At the restrictive temperature, the viral growth was markedly affected in dnaH, dnaZ, or ligts7 mutants. Even when these strains were transfected with RF1 mol
