Genetic Characterization of the Temperature-Sensitive and Suppression Phenotypes of Escherichia coli Mutant N4316

M B Herrington a,1, M C Ganoza a
PMCID: PMC235055  PMID: 320180

Abstract

Escherichia coli mutant N4316 is temperature sensitive and exhibits temperature-dependent suppression. These phenotypes are due to separate genes, as shown by reversion and mapping studies. The suppressor mutation was mapped and lies near argF.
