TLDR
The results suggest that phage lambda daroE152 carries a "hybrid" rRNA gene which was probably formed by recombination between two different chromosomal rRNA genes.Abstract:
Escherichia coli DNA was digested with restriction endonucleases BamHI, PstI, EcoRI, SalI, HindIII, XhoI, BglII, SmaI, HpaI and with selected double and triple combinations of the same enzymes. The digests were electrophoresed and hybridized with 32P-labelled ribosomal RNA by using the Southern blotting technique. The resulting bands could be arranged into seven groups, and it was possible to construct a unique physical map of the seven rRNA genes (operons) of the bacterial chromosome. Mapping information obtained on several transducing phages and recombinant plasmids carrying rRNA genes, and mapping data published in the literature helped to determine the final map. The results suggest that phage lambda daroE152 carries a "hybrid" rRNA gene which was probably formed by recombination between two different chromosomal rRNA genes.read more

The physical map of the whole E. coli chromosome: application of a new strategy for rapid analysis and sorting of a large genomic library.
TL;DR: The strategy was to measure the sizes of partial restriction enzyme digests by hybridization with a vector probe in a manner analogous to nucleotide sequencing, and found that this strategy is applicable to analyses of the genomes of other organisms.

TL;DR: Comparison of the sequence of λrifd18 with sequences from other isolates of the rrB operon provides direct evidence for structural rearrangements within rRNA operons.

Erythromycin resistance by ribosome modification.
TL;DR: This minireview concentrates on target site alteration, which for erythromycin is the 50S subunit of the ribosome, and on posttranscriptional modification of the 23S rRNA by an adenine-specific N-methyltransferase (methylase) specified by a class of genes bearing the name erm.
