TLDR
In this article, a 4-base pair deletion is introduced into the structural nisA gene (ΔnisA) and transcription of ΔnisA is abolished, but the gene can be restored by adding subinhibitory amounts of nisin, nisin mutants, or nisin analogs to the culture medium.About:

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors
TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.

Improved M13 phage cloning vectors and host strains: nucleotide sequences of the M13mp18 and pUC19 vectors
TL;DR: New Escherichia coli host strains have been constructed for the E. coli bacteriophage M13 and the high-copy-number pUC-plasmid cloning vectors and mutations introduced into these strains improve cloning of unmodified DNA and of repetitive sequences.

In vitro gene fusions that join an enzymatically active beta-galactosidase segment to amino-terminal fragments of exogenous proteins: Escherichia coli plasmid vectors for the detection and cloning of translational initiation signals.
TL;DR: A series of plasmid vectors suitable for the detection and cloning of translational control signals and 5' coding sequences of exogenously derived genes yielded hybrid proteins useful for purifying peptide sequences encoded by exogenous deoxyribonucleic acid fragments and for studies relating the structure and function of specific peptide segments.
