A chloramphenicol-resistant mutation in Escherichia coli K 12, cmlA1 (previously designated 1a), giving a higher Cm-resistance than other mutations yet examined, has been shown to have a chromosomal location, the gene order being gal, λ, bio, cmlA, pyrD. CmlA can be transduced efficiently into cm-sensitive strains by P1 with little phenotypic lag, and is co-transduced with the λ-attachment site (frequency 1·13%) but not with gal or pyrD.
