Abstract
The effect of a mutation in a gene located near thepro marker and determining the normal colony formation and the cell density inEscherichia coli has been analyzed. Thencf mutation has no effect on the permeability of the cell to actinomycin D. On the other hand, a higher level of ATP and a defect in the accumulation of the reserve material in the mutant cell were detected.
