Abstract
SUMMARY: Several temperature-sensitive mutants ofEscherichia coliwere isolated which lyse at the restrictive temperature. Some of these possess a biochemically defined lesion in cell-wall mucopeptide synthesis. Three genes, termedmurC, EandF, have been localized between theaziandleumarkers. From transductional data a fine structure map was constructed of themurmutations, establishing the order of the genes. The genetic relationship between these cell wall genes and neighbouring genes involved in cell division is discussed.Keywords
