A mutant strain of E. coli displaying altered regulation of the recA gene was isolated as a revertant of a lexA3 recA200 double mutant which showed improved DNA repair and recombination functions. The mutation (alc-24) was located between srl and recA200 and caused synthesis of high levels of recA p

Plasmid pUC13 was used to clone DNA fragments of known sites from the chromosome of Escherichia coli. Each chimeric plasmid was introduced individually into the same dnaA46 mutant strain LC381 and suppressive integration (Sin) strains were selected. By means of cotransduction the null mutation recA5
The E. coli recA gene was cloned from the phage lambda precA into the vector pBR313. A plasmid, pJL3, was also isolated by cloning a portion of the recA gene into the vector pBR322. pJL3 coded for a fragment of the recA protein 34 Kd (kilodaltons) in size (compared to 40 Kd for the intact protein).
That portion of the Escherichia coli chromosome carried by a number of lambda transducing phages, all of which carry the gua operon, was mapped using restriction endonucleases. The DNA from one of these transducing phages was subcloned onto pBR322. We have identified two recombinant plasmids which c
A halo plaque assay has been developed for the detection of nondefective lambda transducing phage carrying functional alleles of the metB gene of Escherichia coli K12. The assay is based upon the production of phage plaques on lawns of metB- bacterial cells which are supplemented with limiting amoun
