A map order for his I, one of the genetic regions controlling histidine biosynthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, using the transducing phage F116.

چکیده
previous communication ( MEE and LEE 1967) described the use of two-point A crosses in a transduction analysis of histidine requiring mutants of PseurEomonas aeruginosa. It was shown that histidine biosynthesis is controlled by at least five genes or groups of genes which have been designated his I, his 11, his 111, his IV and his V. However, no fine structure mapping has been carried out in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This paper presents a map order for the his I region based on a transduction analysis using three-point crosses.

Prophage F116: evidence for extrachromosomal location in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO.
F116 is a temperate-generalized transducing phage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Genetic evidence leads to the conclusion that F116 prophage DNA is maintained extrachromosomally as a plasmid. Preliminary physical evidence is presented to support this hypothesis.
متن کاملEffect of Various Carboxylic Acids on the Biosynthesis of Polyhydroxyalkanoate in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01
In the present study, four carbon sources were tested for the polyester synthesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01 which is a ubiquitous environmental bacterium and is one of the top three causes of opportunistic human infections. These included linear C8 to C11 carboxylic acids. Octanoic acid, nonanoic acid, decanoic acid and undecanoic acid were added to M1 ...
متن کاملLarge Preferred Region for Packaging of Bacterial DNA by phiC725A, a Novel Pseudomonas aeruginosa F116-Like Bacteriophage
Bacteriophage vB_PaeP_PAO1_phiC725A (short name phiC725A) was isolated following mitomycin C induction of C7-25, a clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain carrying phiC725A as a prophage. The phiC725A genome sequence shows similarity to F116, a P. aeruginosa podovirus capable of generalized transduction. Likewise, phiC725A is a podovirus with long tail fibers. PhiC725A was able to lysogenize two...
متن کاملGenetic control of the beta-ketoadipate pathway in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The regulation and genetic control of the beta-ketoadipate pathway in Pseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated. The pattern of enzyme induction is apparently the same as in P. putida. Mutants were obtained for all but 1 of the 11 structural genes; the proximity of these genes on the chromosome was examined by transduction of the mutants with phage F116. If a group of enzymes was induced by the ...
متن کاملTransformation and transfection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: effects of metal ions.
The ability of different metal ions to promote transformation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by deoxyribonucleic acid of the plasmid RP1 was examined. CaCl2, MgCl2, and MnCl2 were found to promote such transformation, although at different frequencies and with the optimum response at different concentrations. Only MgCl2 promoted transfection of P. aeruginosa by the linear deoxyribonucleic acid of ph...
