Main Points of the Paper

  • The lac operator does not lie in the same region in which oo mutants are found.

Materials and Methods Used

  • Mutant Classes
    • oc mutants
      • lost the sensitivity to repressor, therefore expressing β-galactosidase constitutively in the presence of the repressor
      • very closely linked to z- mutations mapped at the beginning of the z gene
    • oo mutants
      • shuts off the production of all 3 enzymic activities of the lac operon
  • Types of z-y+ revertants found in the melibiose-agar plate selection
    • Deletions within the lac region
      • abolish basal level of β-galactosidase present in oo mutants
      • do not further revert to lac+ phenotype
    • Mutations at unlinked suppressor loci
