Abstract excerpt
We used lambda and plasmid vectors containing the am+ gene in an insert of from 2.7 to 9.1 kb, to transform am point mutant and deletion strains. A total of 199 transformants were examined with the potential to yield am+ transformants by homologous recombination. When we used vectors that had 9.1 kb of homology with the chromosomal DNA, 30% of the transformants obtained were the result of homologous recombination...
