Abstract

Pittard, James (School of Microbiology, University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia), and B. J. Wallace . Distribution and function of genes concerned with aromatic biosynthesis in Escherichia coli . J. Bacteriol. 91: 1494–1508. 1966.—A number of mutant strains of Escherichia coli K-12, which are blocked in the biosynthesis of the aromatic amino acids, were examined biochemically to determine their particular enzymatic deficiencies. The mutations carried by these strains were mapped by use of the methods of conjugation and transduction. Structural genes for five of the enzymes of the common pathway leading to chorismate and for the two enzymes converting chorismate to phenylpyruvate and p -hydroxyphenylpyruvate, respectively, were identified. Unlike the genes of the tryptophan operon most of these genes are distributed over widely separated regions of the chromosome.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
