Abstract
Several mutants of Bacillus subtilis deficient in catalase synthesis generated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis have been used to map a locus affecting catalase activity. Two- and three-factor bacteriophage PBS1 transductional crosses were used to locate the locus, named katA, between recH and thiA with 98% linkage to thiA at 70 degrees on the B. subtilis genome. The synthesis of catalase 1, found only in vegetative cells, was affected by katA.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
