Abstract: | Summary Starting with an E. coli merodiploid strain (rpoB
+ (rifS)/rpoB- (rifR)) containing equal amounts of rifampicin-sensitive and resistant RNA polymerase activities, mutants were isolated that had a disproportionately high ratio of the rifampicin-resistant enzyme activity. With one strain it is shown that the mutation responsible for this phenotype is closely linked to the rifR (rpoB-) allele. |
