The rec locus, a competence-induced operon in Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 1995

Pearce B J, Naughton A M, Campbell E A, Masure H R

Abstract excerpt

To study competence and the process of transformation (TFN) in pneumococci, we developed a method for isolating TFN- mutants using insertional inactivation coupled with fusions to the gene for alkaline phosphatase (phoA). One TFN- mutant transformed 2 log units less efficiently than the parent strain. Reconstitution of the mutated region revealed a locus, rec, that contains two polycistronic genes, exp10 and the...
