Journal ArticleDOI

Construction and characterization of amplifiable multicopy DNA cloning vehicles derived from the P15A cryptic miniplasmid.

TL;DR: P15A-derived plasmids were not self-transmissible and were mobilized poorly by Hfr strains; however, mobilization was complemented by the presence of a ColE1 plasmid within the same cell.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prolonged incubation in calcium chloride improves the competence of Escherichia coli cells.

M. Dagert, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1979 - 
TL;DR: Escherichia coli cells are 4--6 times more transformable and 20--30 times more competent after 24 h incubation in cold calcium chloride than immediately after calcium chloride treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recalibrated linkage map of Escherichia coli K-12.

TL;DR: This article corrects the article on p. 116 in vol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interposon mutagenesis of soil and water bacteria : a family of DNA fragments designed for in vitro insertional mutagenesis of gram-negative bacteria

TL;DR: A series of derivatives of the omega interposon that can be used for in vitro insertional mutagenesis are constructed and insertion of these interposons in the plasmid between the promoter and the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) gene dramatically reduced the expression of this enzyme in Escherichia coli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacteriophage lysis: mechanism and regulation.

TL;DR: The available evidence suggests that holins oligomerize to form nonspecific holes and that this hole-forming step is the regulated step in phage lysis, which is as much an essential feature of holin function as is the hole formation itself.

Optimal conditions for mutagenesis by N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine in escherichia coli K12☆

TL;DR: N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine induces at least one mutation per treated cell under conditions permitting over 50 per cent survival and induced auxotrophs are found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of an E. coli strain with a mutation affecting DNA polymerase.

TL;DR: By testing indiscriminately several thousand colonies of mutagenized E. coli, a mutant has been isolated that on extraction proves to have less than I per cent of the normal level of DNA polymerase.
