Genetic analysis of mutants of Escherichia coli defective in dicarboxylate transport.
Mutants of E.coli deficient in dicarboxylate transport can be mapped at three different loci. The dctA locus is linked to xyl and the dctB and cbt loci are linked to gal. Transduction tests reveal that the likely order of genes in the gal region is dctB-cbt-nadA-galK.
