Abstract excerpt

The RecF pathway catalyzes generalized recombination in Escherichia coli that is mutant for recBC, sbcB and sbcC. This pathway operating on conjugational recombination requires the recA, recF, recJ, recN, recO, recQ, recR, ruvA, ruvB and ruvC genes. In contrast, lambda mutant for its own recombin...
