β¦ Synopsis
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. chrysanthemi strain. The pectinolytic and cellulolytic activities were unaffected by the rec mutation.

A DNA fragment containing the cya gene region ofErwinia chrysanthemi, B374 was cloned in vivo and transferred into cells of E. coli using a plasmid pULB113 derived from RP4 followed by subcloning in vitro into the vector pBR322. The cya gene encodes a 95 kDal protein that complemented E. coli cya mu
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
