Abstract excerpt
The Rhizobium phaseoli recA gene has been cloned by interspecific complementation of the Fec phenotype of bacteriophage lambda. The cloned gene restored the recombination proficiency and conferred resistance to DNA-damaging agents (methyl methanesulfonate and nitrofurantoin) to an Escherichia coli recA mutant. The direction of transcription and the localization of the recA gene were determined by mutagenesis with...
