title: Genetic mapping of a mutation causing an alteration in Bacillus subtilis ribosomal protein S4.
abstract: A mutation causing an alteration in Bacillus subtilis ribosomal protein S4 was mapped by transformation and PBS-1 transduction to a site between aroG and argA, a region of the B. subtilis chromosome not previously demonstrated to contain ribosomal protein genes. The S4 mutation conferred a spore-plus phenotype in a streptomycin-resistant, spore-minus genetic background. The altered protein was detectable by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of ribosomal proteins of recombinants scored for the spore-plus phenotype in genetic crosses.
