Abstract
In a search for genes that produce hypersensitivity to cadmium salts i n Escherichia coli, random transposon mutagenesis with TnphoA was used . One of the mutant strains obtained was sensitive to Cd2+ and Zn2+ Se quence analysis showed that the TnphoA insertion was located in the ds bA gene coding for a periplasmic protein required for disulfide bond f ormation.
