Notes:
Summary Galactose negative mutations are described which reduce the maximum expression of all three gal genes about 100-fold. The residual enzyme synthesis is not or only slightly inducible. These pleiotropic mutations map in the control region of the gal operon. No recombination is observed between these mutations. All mutants revert spontaneously to a Gal+ phenotype. In some mutations wildtype-like as well as constitutive revertants are obtained. The frequency of reversion can be increased by nitrosoguanidine (NG) in all mutants. The revertants, induced by this mutagen, are of a constitutive type.
