A method was developed for the isolation of spontaneous mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 with deletions extending from the srl operon to the adjacent recA gene. The srl-recA deletion mutants were extremely sensitive to dNA-damaging agents; unable to support growth of the feckless red gam mutant lamb
A recombinant lambda phage carrying the recA gene of Rhizobium phaseoli was isolated from a R. phaseoli genomic library by complementation of the Fec- phenotype of the recombinant phage in Escherichia coli. When expressed in E. coli, the cloned recA gene was shown to restore resistance to both UV ir
Cosmids carrying a rec gene of the Erwinia chrysanthemi strain B 374 were identified in a genomic library constructed by Reverchon et al. (1985). One of them was mutagenized with transposon Tnl and the rec: : T n l mutation was introduced into the B 374 chromosome, providing the first rec-less E. ch
A sequence homologous to the conventional nifH gene has been cloned from a different region of the Azotobacter vinelandii genome. Tn5 insertions were obtained in this clone and the mutagenized plasmid was used for marker exchange with A. vinelandii strain CA12 (delta nifHDK) to obtain Tn5 mutants. T
A library containing more than 80% of the Vibrio cholerae genome was constructed by cloning BamH1 restriction fragments into pBR322. Using interspecific complementation of an Escherichia coli recA mutant with plasmids containing the gene bank of V. cholerae, a recA-like gene was identified. The reco
