RESUMO
A set of lambda dilv phage have been used in a deletion mapping procedure to determine the location of two previously characterized ilvO alleles. In contrast to earlier conclusions derived from three-factor crosses and episome-shortening techniques with phage P1, the order found is ilvG-ilvO-ilvEDA. A three-factor cross with phage P1 is described that is not consistent with this location for an ilvO allele. Further analysis of this particular three-factor cross revealed than an artifact attributable to a mutual syntrophism had skewed the apparent frequency of inheritance of the ilvO locus. The role of mutual syntrophism is discussed as a source of mapping errors for the ilvO locus. The value of this set of lambda dilv phage and this mapping procedure for obtaining comparatively unambiguous data on the locations of the ilv structural and regulatory genes is demonstrated.
