Abstract excerpt

Among the photoresistant revertants of the visA-deleted (hemH-deleted) strain of Escherichia coli K-12, three mutants defective in the hemE gene encoding uroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase (UPD) were identified. Using one of the mutants, we cloned and sequenced the hemE of E. coli. We found an op...
