2006 journal article

An E-coli B mutation, rpoB5081, that prevents growth of phage T4 strains defective in host DNA degradation

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 157(1), 109–116.

By: E. Miller n , G. Shih n, S. Chang n & D. Ballard n

MeSH headings : Alleles; Bacteriophage T4 / growth & development; Chromosome Mapping; DNA Repair; DNA, Bacterial / biosynthesis; DNA, Bacterial / metabolism; DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases / chemistry; DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases / metabolism; Endonucleases / metabolism; Escherichia coli / enzymology; Escherichia coli / genetics; Escherichia coli / virology; Gene Expression Regulation, Bacterial; Gene Expression Regulation, Enzymologic; Mutation; Phenotype; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Transcription Factors / metabolism; Transcription, Genetic; Viral Proteins / genetics; Viral Proteins / metabolism
TL;DR: An E. coli B Tab strain was isolated that restricts T4 denA (DNA endonuclease II) mutants at 37 degrees C and above, but is permissive for wild-type T4 at all temperatures examined, and is an important host for screening and mapping T 4 denA mutations. (via Semantic Scholar)

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC BACTERIOLOGY, 48, 859–877.

By: W. Kloos n, D. Ballard n, C. George n, J. Webster*, R. Hubner*, W. Ludwig, K. Schleifer*, F. Fiedler*, K. Schubert*

author keywords: Macrococcus gen. nov.; Macrococcus caseolyticus gen. nov., comb. nov.; Macrococcus equipercicus sp. nov.; Macrococcus bovicus sp. nov.; Macrococcus carouselicus sp. nov.
