Abstract
Mutations trpl and thyA1, both of a polyauxotrophic derivative of the Erwinia chrysanthemi strain B374, were characterized as amber mutations with an Escherichia coli suppressor, supA1P2, which inserts a glutamine in response to UAG. Simultaneous reversion of both mutations allowed us to isolate amber suppressor mutants of E. chrysanthemi. These suppressors were tested with a set of amber mutants of bacteriophage Mu which had been previously characterized on E. coli. The two independently isolated suppressors behaved as supD and supE mutants, respectively, of E. coli.
