Abstract excerpt

Excision of Tn917 from chromosomal sites in B. subtilis is characterized by reversion studies. We propose different modes of excision depending on the site of transposon insertion. Excision takes place as precise excision in one step which results in reversion of the mutant phenotype, or by a two...
