Not quite Jim!  You were a bit too quick.  You are right that there are
E.coli strains with pLysS in their names but that's exactly because they
carry a PACYC derivative plasmid, named pLysS, that carries the T7
lysozyme gene.  So the orinal question is quite logical.  I spent a few
hours a couple of years ago to look for the sequence or a map of pLysS and
pLysE but came away empty handed. (If you find the sequence Matthew,
please let me know).
