Hfr Strains of Escherichia coli K-12
Since the first reports by Cavalli-Sforza (9) and Hayes (24) of strains of Escherichia coli K-12 which are conjugational donors of chromosomal markers at high frequency (Hfr strains), many other Hfr strains have been isolated and our understanding of the mechanisms involved in Hfr formation has increased considerably. All Hfr strains arise from the integration of a conjugative plasmid into the ...
متن کاملMutant strains of Escherichia coli unable to synthesize p-aminobenzoic acid.
Among the growth factor-requiring strains of Escherichia coli obtained in this Laboratory by x-ray treatment or prolonged serial transfer (1, 2) were three strains which grew when p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) was added to the basal medium. The importance of PABA in the metabolism of microorganisms was first indicated when Woods (3) reported that the bacteriostatic action of the sulfonamides is co...
متن کاملEndonuclease V (nfi) mutant of Escherichia coli K-12.
Endonuclease V (deoxyinosine 3' endonuclease), the product of the nfi gene, has a specificity that encompasses DNAs containing dIMP, abasic sites, base mismatches, uracil, and even untreated single-stranded DNA. To determine its importance in DNA repair pathways, nfi insertion mutants and overproducers (strains bearing nfi plasmids) were constructed. The mutants displayed a twofold increase in ...
متن کاملConversion of Commensal Escherichia coli K-12 to an Invasive Form via Expression of a Mutant Histone-Like Protein
UNLABELLED The HUα(E38K, V42L) mutant of the bacterial histone-like protein HU causes a major change in the transcription profile of the commensal organism Escherichia coli K-12 (Kar S, Edgar R, Adhya S, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 102:16397-16402, 2005). Among the upregulated genes are several related to pathogenic interactions with mammalian cells, as evidenced by the expression of curli ...
متن کاملFunction of ubiquinone in Escherichia coli: a mutant strain forming a low level of ubiquinone.
A ubiquinone-deficient mutant of Escherichia coli K-12 forming 20% of the normal amount of ubiquinone was compared with a normal strain. This lowered concentration of ubiquinone is still four times the concentration of cytochrome b(1). The mutant strain grew more slowly than the normal strain on a minimal medium with glucose as sole source of carbon and gave a lower aerobic growth yield than th...
