TABLE 3.

Percent linkage of new flagellin gene fllA (allele fllA₅₅) with different chromosome markers transferred from donor strain PM476F′ into recipient strains PM336 and PM342 by conjugation

Recipient strain (H antigen expressed)	% (±mp) inheritance of fllA55 by recombinant selected for donor allele of the following markera:
	hisG1 (44)	argG6 (69)	malT1 (75)	xyl-7 (80)	mtlA2 (81)	metB1 (90)	hisG1 (44)	purF (50)	pheA2 (57)	argH (90)
PM336 (H16)	22.0 ± 4.2	19.4 ± 4.0	0	1.0	0	0
PM342 (H16)					0		21.0 ± 4.1	35.0 ± 4.8	63.0 ± 4.8	0

^aNinety-eight Arg⁺ (marker argG6) recombinant clones and 100 recombinant clones of each other class were tested. Counterselection of the donor was done with streptomycin. The map positions of the genes (in parentheses) are according to references 1 and 2. m_p, percent error.
