Abstract excerpt
The ability to perform genetic manipulation of mycobacteria is important for characterization of gene function. Homologous recombination-based protocols are frequently used for reverse genetics studies with mycobacteria. It is known that Mycobacteriumbovis BCG Russia, closely related to M. bovis BCG Moreau, is a natural recA deficient strain and is non-permissive to homologous recombination assays. In this work...
