Abstract excerpt
We describe a transposon insertion that reduces the efficiency of homologous recombination and DNA repair in Escherichia coli. The insertion, rec-258, was located between pyrE and dgo at min 82.1 on the current linkage map. On the basis of linkage to pyrE and complementation studies with the cloned rec+ gene, rec-258 was identified as an allele of the recG locus first reported by Storm et al. (P. K. Storm, W. P....
