Induction of filament formation and thymineless death in Escherichia coli K-12.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study of isogenic strains of Escherichia coli K-12 carrying mutations which control filament formation after ultraviolet irradiation showed that there is not necessarily a relationship between filament formation and thymineless death.

Thymineless death in Escherichia coli 15T- and recombinants of 15T- and Escherichia coli K-12.
Thymineless death was examined in Escherichia coli 15T(-) and recombinants of 15T(-) and E. coli K-12. Those strains that were very sensitive to thymine deprivation were also very sensitive to a variety of inducing agents (mitomycin C, ultraviolet light, hydroxyurea, and nalidixic acid). Those strains that were relatively resistant to thymineless death were also relatively resistant to the indu...

We have infected Escherichia coli strain B3 with F' factors carrying different lengths of the K-12 chromosome. When the F' factor carries the tsx to purE segment, the resulting hybrid merodiploid shows increased sensitivity to thymineless death, although leaky deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis is unaffected, as well as increased sensitivity to ultraviolet irradiation. The dominant or partially do...

متن کاملThymineless death in Escherichia coli.
There is little doubt that thymine starvation af fects the DNA of thymine requiring bacteria1-5. However, the process of killing is fairly complicated and remains to be clarified. The genes responsible for the control of sensitivity to thymine starvation have not been identified, even though claims have been but forward for at least one gene6. Besides, whether the cells die when still in incub...
