The majority of the mutations induced by nitrosoguanidine inEscherichia coliare located in the replication point region of the chromosome.The treatment with nitrosoguanidine of successive samples from a synchronized culture produces a maximum of a given type of mutant at the time the corresponding gene is being replicated. This permits the construction of areplication mapof the chromosome that describes the pattern of the replication of the genes. This map is in general agreement with the standard genetic map. The origin of replication is fixed at a determined position of the chromosome, that corresponds roughly to 50 minutes of the standard conjugation map and is the same for all strains tested (a 15 T−, a K12 Hfr and a K12 F−). The direction of replication is clockwise, by reference to the same standard, and the cycles of DNA replication, under the conditions studied, succeed each other without delay or overlap.As an application of the method to the study of the control of DNA replication, a genetic demonstration is presented that thymine starvation leads to the initiation of a new round of DNA replication, even if the chromosome is already being replicated at the time thymine is withheld.
