Abstract excerpt
Shigella flexneri SFL124, with a deletion encompassing all, or nearly all, of the coding sequence of gene aroD was obtained after selection on a fusaric acid medium supplemented with 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid for tetracycline-sensitive mutants of S. flexneri SFL114 which is an aroD::Tn10 transductant. Two of 20 tetracycline-sensitive mutants tested in colony hybridization with a 32P-labelled DNA probe of...
