The origin and direction of replication of the E. coli B/r chromosome has been determined by comparing gene frequencies in P1-transducing lysates prepared on cultures growing at different rates. The gene frequencies found are consistent with the idea that replication of the chromosome is dichotomous in rapidly growing B/r. The origin was found to be between 40 and 55 min on the E. coli genetic map with replication proceeding in a clockwise direction. Markers near the origin behaved anomalously.
通过比较在不同生长速率的培养物上制备的P1转导裂解物中的基因频率,已确定了大肠杆菌B/r染色体的复制起点和方向。所发现的基因频率与快速生长的B/r中染色体复制是二分体的观点一致。发现起点位于大肠杆菌遗传图谱上40至55分钟之间,复制按顺时针方向进行。靠近起点的标记表现异常。
