Abstract
Clarke and Carbon have prepared a colony bank of 2000 Escherichia coli strains each containing a random segment of the Escherichia coli chromosome inserted into the EcoR1 restriction site of the plasmid ColE1. We have screened the colony bank by conjugation and have identified three strains bearing hybrid plasmids that complement a defective putP gene. Each of these strains shows increased L-proline uptake activity in comparison with the unmodified host or with the host bearing noncomplementing hybrid plasmids. However, CS520, the DNA source strain employed in constructing the hybrid plasmids, is a putP mutant. Since Escherichia coli possesses two L-proline porters, a variety of possible complementation mechanisms are discussed.
