Abstract excerpt

Transposition of Tn10 in polA, recA, uvrB, mutH and uvrD mutants of Salmonella typhimurium was studied by a mating-out assay mediated by R plasmid pKM101. A decrease in transposition frequency was observed with polA, recA and uvrD mutants; uvrB and mutH mutants showed frequencies somewhat higher...
