Abstract

The specialized transducing phage lambdacI857S7drifd18 was used as a donor in a transductional mapping of four genes in the rif region of the Escherichia coli genome. The gene order was rts-2.9-rplL-0.8-rpoB, where the numbers indicate intermarker distances in kilobases. The possible orientation of these genes with respect to each other and to neighboring genes is discussed.
