Colicin tolerance and map location of conjugation-deficient mutants

J Bacteriol. 1975 Jul;123(1):372-3. doi: 10.1128/jb.123.1.372-373.1975.

Abstract

Con minus mutants, conjugation-defective mutants of Escherichia coli K-12, have been shown to be tolerant to colicins K and L. They map at approximately 14 min on the genetic map. The significance of the colicin tolerance of conjugation-defective mutants is discussed.
