Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Several thymineless Escherichia coli strains have been examined for their ability to replicate their deoxyribonucleic acid when bromouracil is substituted for thymine. The procedure we describe was used to identify a thymineless strain with characteristics relatively favorable to its use in bromouracil labeling experiments. In addition, mutants with an "absolute" thymine requirement could be easily distinguished from one with a "leaky" thymine requirement.
