The gene for resistance to phage BF23 and colicins E1, E2 and E3, bfe, was mapped by a combination of conjugation and transduction crosses. Co-transduction of bfe was found with markers in the region between 76 and 79 min on the Escherichia coli genetic map. The highest frequency of co-transduction was found with argH (47%). Three-factor transductional crosses showed unambiguously that bfe lies between argH and supM, at about 77·5 min on the map.
