Abstract excerpt
A temperature-sensitive mutation in the murH gene of Escherichia coli confers a lysis phenotype at the restrictive temperature. An extragenic suppressor of murH apparently representing a new locus at 12.5 min on the linkage map and designated smhB is described. The smhB mutation by itself also conferred a temperature-sensitive lysis phenotype. A mutation in another new locus designated lytD which arose...
