Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Mutations affecting the glycogen biosynthesis in E. coli can be mapped at three different loci, glg A, glg B and glg C lying between asd and mal A. Transduction tests suggest the following order for the genes in this region: mal A-glg A-glg C-gla B-asd.
