Isolation and characterization of visible light-sensitive mutants of Escherichia coli K12.

Journal of molecular biology - 5 Jun 1991

Miyamoto K, Nakahigashi K, Nishimura K, Inokuchi H

Abstract excerpt

Six mutants of Escherichia coli K12 that are sensitive to visible light have been isolated. Five of them, including an amber mutant, are defective in a gene that maps near 11 minutes on the linkage map of the chromosome, and this gene has been designated visA. The sixth mutant, which was isolated from bacteria that carried the visA+/visA+ diploid allele, is defective in a gene that maps near 63 minutes on the...
