Abstract excerpt

The temperature-sensitive nucleoid segregation mutant of Escherichia coli, PAT32, formerly described as a parA mutant, has been shown to carry a mutation near 66 min on the genetic map. Fine mapping with phages from the collection of Kohara et al. is consistent with its being a parC allele. Obser...
