Abstract excerpt
We have identified recD mutants of Salmonella typhimurium by their ability to support growth of phage P22 abc (anti-RecBCD) mutants, whose growth is prevented by normal host RecBCD function. As in Escherichia coli, the recD gene of S. typhimurium lies between the recB and argA genes at min 61 of the genetic map. Plasmids carrying the Salmonella recBCD+ genes restore ATP-dependent exonuclease V activity to an E....
