Location on the Salmonella typhimurium Chromosome of the Gene Encoding Nucleoside Diphosphokinase (ndk)

Abstract

The gene encoding nucleosidediphosphate kinase (ndk) was located at 55 units on the Salmonella typhimurium chromosome. The ndk locus was 83% cotransducible with hisS and 2% cotransducible with glyA in phage P22-mediated crosses. A nucleosidediphosphate kinase mutant that produced only 10% of the wild-type enzyme activity (ndk-1) grew normally and produced a heat-labile enzyme.
