In accord with the observations of other workers, unselected marker analysis of Escherichia coli K-12 transconjugants isolated from matings involving several different Hfr strains as donors has shown that most genetic exchanges are clustered either near the selected marker or near the origin of the
F-prime heterogenotes of dam-3 bacteria segregate F-prime homogenotes at a frequency 30-200 times higher than the isogenic dam+ strain. A hyperrecombination mutant which shows increased recombination between chromosomal duplications was characterized as a dam mutant. The dam-3 allele causes a reduct
The F' plasmids ORF-1 (purE+ tsxs proC+ lac+) and F'14 (argE+ metB+ ilv+) contain active regions of recombination, fre I and fre II correspondingly. The plasmid ORF-1 is stable in recF- cells (i.e., with the RecBC pathway of recombination) and decays in rec+ cells (RecBCF pathway) giving two types o
