Abstract
Flagellar mutants inEscherichia coliwere obtained by selection for resistance to the flagellotropic phage χ. F elements covering various regions of theE. coligenome were then constructed, and, on the basis of the ability of these elements to restore flagellar function, the mutations were assigned to three regions of theE. colichromosome. Region I is betweentrpandgal;region II is betweenuvrCandaroD;and region III is betweenhisanduvrC. F elements carrying flagellar mutations were constructed. Stable merodiploid strains with a flagellar defect on the exogenote and another on the endogenote were then prepared. These merodiploids yielded information on the complementation behavior of mutations in a given region. Region III was shown to include at least six cistrons,A, B, C, D, E, andF. Region II was shown to include at least four cistrons,G, H, I, andJ. Examination of the phenotypes of the mutants revealed that those with lesions in cistronEof region III produce “polyhooks” and lesions in cistronFof region III result in loss of ability to produce flagellin. Mutants with lesions in cistronJof region II were entirely paralyzed (mot) mutants. Genetic analysis of flagellar mutations in region III suggested that the mutations located in cistronsA, B, C, andEare closely linked and mutations in cistronsDandFare closely linked.
