The Role of IS-Elements in E. coli

  • Conference paper
Integration and Excision of DNA Molecules

Part of the book series: Colloquium der Gesellschaft für Biologische Chemie in Mosbach Baden ((MOSBACH,volume 28))

Abstract

The chromosome of Escherichia coli is a circular double-stranded DNA molecule with a length of about 1 mm, which is folded in a unique way. This DNA molecule has a coding capacity of some 3000–4000 average-sized polypeptide chains. The genes coding for these proteins are thought to be arranged in the chromosome in a sequence characteristic for a given bacterial species.
