Abstract excerpt
A plasmid called pMucA, from a piece of the plasmid pKM101 (Mol. Gen. Genet 167 (1979) 317) cloned in the vector pDM2 (J. Bacteriol. 151 (1982) 1605), caused higher mutation in a local region of Haemophilus influenzae and caused even more mutation there in a strain also containing novC, the latter causing an increase in supercoiling (J. Bacteriol 164 (1985) 525). The novD mutation depressed supercoiling, and also...
