title: Location on the Salmonella typhimurium chromosome of the gene encoding nucleoside diphosphokinase (ndk).
abstract: The gene encoding nucleosidediphosphate kinase (ndk) was located at 55 units on the Salmonella typhimurium chromosome. The ndk locus was 83% cotransducible with hisS and 2% cotransducible with glyA in phage P22-mediated crosses. A nucleosidediphosphate kinase mutant that produced only 10% of the wild-type enzyme activity (ndk-1) grew normally and produced a heat-labile enzyme.
