Abstract excerpt
Natural transformation was used to help define a collection of ionizing radiation-sensitive strains of Deinococcus radiodurans. Three putative rec mutations were identified, as were three pol alleles. Forty of the ionizing radiation-sensitive strains were placed into 16 linkage groups, and eviden...
