Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis of a mutation conferring an erythromycin-resistance phenotype was explored, as an approach to the role of 23 S rRNA in the peptidyl-transferase activity of 50 S ribosomal subunits. Mutagenization of an Escherichia coli strain, which carried the multicopy plasmid pLC7-21 containing the rrnH operon, led to the production of an erythromycin-resistant strain. Plasmid pBFL1 isolated from this...
