UV irradiation induced the precise excision of Tn10 inserted in met, trp or srl in a Salmonella typhimurium strain; mitomycin C was also found to induce the frequency of precise excision of Tn10 from srl or met. Precise excision of Tn10 was not increased by either UV or mitomycin C in a recA mutant. Similarly, a recA mutant derived from a uvrD strain showed a drastic reduction in the high spontaneous levels of...
