dif, a recA-independent recombination site in the terminus region of the chromosome of Escherichia coli.

The New biologist - 1 Aug 1991

Kuempel P L, Henson J M, Dircks L, Tecklenburg M, Lim D F

Abstract excerpt

dif (deletion induced filamentation) is a newly identified locus that lies within the terminus region of the Escherichia coli chromosome. The Dif phenotype was characterized by a subpopulation of filamentous cells with abnormal nucleoids and induction of the SOS repair system. Interactions between dif-carrying plasmids as well as between such plasmids and the bacterial chromosome demonstrated that dif is a...
