Abstract
- Auxotrophic mutants aid the analysis of the structure and function of chromosomes I and II of Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1T. The presence of histidine, thymine and p-aminobenzoic acid (pABA)-dihydroxybenzoic acid (dhBA) at low frequencies causes a return to prototrophy. Cosmids possessing the region of transposon location substitute the serine, uracil and pABA-dHBA mutants. The conclusions obtained from these experiments indicate a similarity among chromosomes in bacteria.
