Popis: Strain S296, isolated by screening 2000 colonies after nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis, yields extracts with less than 1% of wild-type RNase activity against ( 3 H) poly(U). Unlike other E. coli strains, S296 grows with a doubling time of about 2 hr., both in nutrient broth and in minimal medium, and at 30°, 37° and 42°. The strain retains 10 to 20% of wild-type exonuclease activity against ( 3 H) rRNA or T4 phage-specific mRNA; but two further mutants, made by screening mutagenized colonies of strain S296, are reduced to 3% of wild-type activity against those substrates as well.
