We have constructed a fine-structure genetic map of the maltose transport operon in Salmonella typhimurium. We have isolated mal mutants by using indicator plates, penicillin selection, or a proton suicide technique. Mutants were obtained as spontaneous events or were induced by chemical mutagenesis and transposon insertion. Tn10 and Mu d(lac Ap)1 insertion mutations were used to create deletions. Mutations were also obtained in a gene that is equivalent to lamB in Escherichia coli, which codes for the lambda bacteriophage receptor. The gene products in the mutants were characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. Our data indicate that the location of this operon on the Salmonella chromosome as well as the gene order and its orientation are the same as those in E. coli. This map will be useful in studying the mechanism of periplasmic transport in S. typhimurium.
