Identification of a genetic locus affecting chromosome stabiltiy and cellular survival in a dnaB mutant.

PMCID: PMC232975  PMID: 783116

Abstract

A mutation has been identified in an Escherichia coli K-12 strain carrying dnaB42. This mutation potentiates both deoxyribonucleic acid degradation and cell death at nonpermissive temperatures. It is located 2 min away from dnaB between malB and metA.
