Phage Mu-1 mediated transposition: a tool to study the organization of ribosomal protein genes in Escherichia coli. 1978

T Cabezón, and F V Gijsegem, and A Toussaint, and M Faelen, and A Bollen

Phage Mu-1 mediated transposition has been used to map genes coding for ribosomal proteins and elongation factor G inside transcriptional units. The data indicate that 1) the str A and fusA genes belong to the same operon, 2) the spcA and strA genes are expressed independently, 3) the spcA gene is located in a different transcriptional unit to that of the eryA and eryB genes.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
