A trp-lac fusion strain of Escherichia coli in which the lac structural genes are part of the tryptophan operon has been used to isolate trp regulatory mutants. This was accomplished by isolating lac(+) colonies on either lactose-minimal agar or lactose-MacConkey indicator agar. Seventy-seven of 78 lac(+) isolates contained mutations which mapped near the ara locus and most of these isolates were found to be 5-methyltryptophan-resistant after introduction of an F-trp episome. The lac(+) phenotypes of these 77 isolates were therefore probably the result of trpR(-) mutations. The one remaining isolate carried a mutation which was not part of the trp regulatory system.
一种大肠杆菌的色氨酸-乳糖融合菌株,其中乳糖结构基因是色氨酸操纵子的一部分,已被用于分离色氨酸调节突变体。这是通过在乳糖基本琼脂或乳糖-麦康凯指示琼脂上分离lac(+)菌落来实现的。78个lac(+)分离株中有77个含有位于阿拉伯糖位点附近的突变,在引入F-色氨酸附加体后,发现这些分离株中的大多数对5-甲基色氨酸具有抗性。因此,这77个分离株的lac(+)表型可能是trpR(-)突变的结果。剩下的一个分离株携带的突变不属于色氨酸调节系统。
