Abstract
Fusions of lac genes to the argA operator were constructed, and lambda phages carrying these fusions were isolated and characterized. With the aid of a lambda phage carrying an argA-lac fusion, the direction of argA transcription on the Escherichia coli chromosome was determined to be clockwise.
