Abstract excerpt
The absence of Bacillus subtilis RecG branch migration translocase causes a defect in cell proliferation, renders cells very sensitive to DNA-damaging agents and increases approximately 150-fold the amount of non-partitioned chromosomes. Inactivation of recF, addA, recH, recV or recU increases both the sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents and the chromosomal segregation defect of recG mutants. Deletion of recS or...
