Abstract
This article reviews the work done in the author's laboratory on the g enetics and physiology of the fit mutants of Escherichia call. Isolato n of the fit mutants, genetic mapping, transcription abnormalities of the fit mutants, the possible involvement of the fit gene products in transcription control and identity of the fitA gene as pheS are descri bed.
