RESUMO
Many of the viruses which infect Bacillus subtilis require glucosylated polyglycerol teichoic acid for adsorption. These mutants can be divided into three classes on the basis of enzymatic defects and growth on galactose-minimal medium. Transduction with phage PBS1 reveals that two of these, gtaA and gtaB, are linked to hisA1, whereas the gtaC locus is linked to argC. Analysis by deoxyribonucleic acid-mediated transformation indicates that these loci exist in a cluster between the hisA1 and argC4 loci. Anomalies in mapping in the group II region of the chromosome exist. The basis of these anomalies is discussed.
