[2 types of auxotrophic mutants occurring by insertion of the ampicillin transposon into the chromosome of E. coli K-12]. 1978

I V Gordienko, and V N Danilevich, and E I Golub

Insertion of transpozone TnI determining ampicillin resistance into the E. coli K-12 chromosome resulted in formation of auxothrophic mutants of 2 types. The mutants of the first type carried thermosensitive mutation resulting in auxotrophy with respect to isoleucine at a temperature of 43 degrees C. Such mutants occurred with high frequency (up to 14 per cent with respect to the number of the survived cells with the chromosomes carrying inserted TnI) and had capacity for reversion to the phenotype of the wild type. The mutants of the second type occurred with a frequency 20--180 times lower than that of the mutants of the first type and did not reverse to the phenotype of the parent bacteria. It was found that the chromosome of E. coli K-12 possessed at least 7 sites available for transpozone TnI insertion.

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
