Growth phase variation in cell and nucleoid morphology in a Bacillus subtilis recA mutant.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 May 2001

Sciochetti S A, Blakely G W, Piggot P J

Abstract excerpt

The major role of RecA is thought to be in helping repair and restart stalled replication forks. During exponential growth, Bacillus subtilis recA cells exhibited few microscopically observable nucleoid defects. However, the efficiency of plating was about 12% of that of the parent strain. A substantial and additive defect in viability was also seen for addB and recF mutants, suggesting a role for the...
