Abstract excerpt
Previous reports of the transduction of topA deletions in Escherichia coli suggested that delta top A transductants grow normally only if they acquire spontaneous mutations that compensate for the topoisomerase I defect. We show that P1-mediated transduction of delta topA in the presence of sublethal concentrations of novobiocin, an inhibitor of the DNA gyrase B subunit, yields uncompensated Top- isolates which...
