Genetic Mapping of the minB Locus in Escherichia coli K-12

PMCID: PMC221733  PMID: 6296039

Abstract

The minB (minicell production) locus of Escherichia coli K-12 was mapped by transduction using bacteriophage P1. minB is located at min 25.6, between purB (min 25.2) and dadR (min 25.8). The mapping was facilitated by the use of insertion zcf-236::Tn10, which is inserted at min 25.4.
