Abstract excerpt
A recF mutation renders Bacillus subtilis cells very sensitive to DNA-damaging agents. Such a recF defect is partially suppressed either by the presence of the recA73 mutation or by the presence of a plasmid-borne, heterologous, single-stranded DNA-binding (ssb) protein gene. Plasmids carrying ssb genes also suppressed the recR and recL defects. Our results suggest that suppression occurs by increasing...
