Abstract excerpt
The galU gene of Escherichia coli, thought to encode the enzyme UTP:alpha-D-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, had previously been mapped to the 27-min region of the chromosome (J. A. Shapiro, J. Bacteriol. 92:518-520, 1966). By complementation of the membrane-derived oligosaccharide biosynthetic defect of strains with a galU mutation, we have now identified a plasmid containing the galU gene and have...
