A partial restriction map of the proA-purE region of the Escherichia coli K12 chromosome.

EcoRI restriction mapping data for fragments larger than 0.7 kb and contained in a 350-kb region of the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome are presented. 75% of these fragments have been located relative to proA, B, argF, lac, proC, purE, and various insertion sequence elements normally present in this region. BglII and BamHI maps for the regions near argF and purE are also provided.
