A genomic map of 26 separate loci of Staphylococcus aureus has been derived by a combination of two methods of chromosomal mapping, by synchronous chromosomal replication and by marker frequency analysis.

Duplication Time

A genomic map of Brucella abortus, strain 19, containing the relative locations of 19 genes has been derived by use of marker frequency analysis. Under the conditions used, the chromosomal replication time was approximately 60 min and the mass duplication time was 216 min.

Logarithmic Growth

Marker frequency analysis by mutation induction of several strains of Staphylococcus aureus has yielded a genomic map supporting the map derived by another technique. Gene orders of exponential cells obtained by using reference cells with completed chromosomes effected by chloramphenicol or by phenethanol treatment were identical, suggesting that these two agents halted chromosomal replication at a common terminus. In several strains, the pantothenate or acriflavine resistance locus changed its apparent chromosomal position during exponential growth. The data indicate that more than one chromosomal growing point occurred during logarithmic growth in non-synthetic medium.

Genomic Map

Six randomly selected strains of Staphylococcus aureus all exhibited the same gene order along the chromosome when mapped by the synchronous chromosomal replication procedure. Strains possessing multiple antibiotic resistance yielded a genomic map with all genes shifted toward significantly later replication times than in strains not bearing multiple antibiotic resistance. It appears that there is a unique site on the S. aureus chromosome for the initiation of replication.

SUMMARYThe generalized transducing phage F116 has been used to prepare lysates from fast- and slow-growing cultures ofPseudomonas aeruginosastrain 1. These lysates have been used to transduce a number of auxotrophic markers to prototrophy and the ratios of the numbers of transductants obtained with each lysate have been determined. Since the markers are those which have been mapped by conjugation in previous studies it has been possible to compare the ratios obtained for each marker with the relative position of the marker on the chromosome map. If the assumption is made that there is only one circular chromosome inP. aeruginosastrain 1 it is possible to suggest a way in which two apparently unlinked segments might be joined together. It is also possible to suggest that the chromosome replicates sequentially in two directions from a fixed origin.

ABSTRACT It is shown that the results of the marker frequency analysis of Sueoka and Yoshikawa (1965) can be derived as very good approximations from a model where the rigid assumptions of their analysis are relaxed to take into account statistical variations in the timing of cell events. It is further shown that the expression for the amount of DNA per cell can be approximated by an elementary exponential function of the growth rate, and this result facilitates genetic mapping by DNA hybridization techniques. An analysis of recent data on gene frequencies in Escherichia coli corroborates a model of symmetric, bidirectional chromosome replication with a replication time of approximately thirty minutes.
