A set of E. coli K12 mutants, which carry a tandem duplication of the glyT purD region, were analyzed. Three types of duplications occurred repeatedly, and they were generated by recombination between the rRNA gene, rrnE, which lies to one side of the glyT purD region and 1 of 3 rrn genes which occur as direct repetitions on the other side of this region. Characterization of these duplication mutants has involved the isolation of the duplicated material in the form of a DNA circle. Class I duplications, which extend from rrnB to rrnE, are 39,500 base-pairs long, class II duplications, which extend from rrnA to rrnE, are 164,000 base-pairs long, and class III duplications, which extend from rrnC torrnE, are 258,000 base-pairs long.
