Summary
Spectinomycin resistant mutants were isolated fromBacillus subtilis ATCC 6633. Some of these mutants had an altered specific 30s ribosomal protein on CMC chromatography, the site of alteration residing in a different tryptic peptide fragment from one mutant to another on Dowex 50×8 chromatography.
