- DNA hybridization experiments demonstrated that the gene clusters encoding the F8 fimbriae (fei) as well as the type I fimbriae (pi/) exist in a single copy on the chromosome of E. coli 018:K5 strain 2980. In conjugation experiments with appropriate donors, the chromosomal site of these gene clusters was determined. The pil genes were mapped close to the gene clusters thr and Jeu controlling the biosynthesis of threonine and leucine, respectively. The fei genes were found to be located close to the galactose operon (gal) between the position 17DNA hybridization experiments demonstrated that the gene clusters encoding the F8 fimbriae (fei) as well as the type I fimbriae (pi/) exist in a single copy on the chromosome of E. coli 018:K5 strain 2980.
