Summary
A genetic map for strain C of Escherichia coli was constructed, independently of that available for strain K-12 (Fig.2). The two maps are very similar. The origins of several Hfr derivatives of E. coli C were mapped. An F′ strain transferring the genes for histidine synthesis was isolated.
Three different points of attachment (location, I, II and III) for prophage P2 on the E. coli C chromosome were mapped.
