Corrected gene assignments of Escherichia coli pro- mutations.
We have reevaluated the gene assignments of the proline mutant alleles of some known Pro- Escherichia coli strains. Of nine proline auxotrophs included in the study, five presented phenotypes inconsistent with their previously assigned genotypes. We discuss the possible sources and the consequences of these assignment errors.
