Abstract excerpt
recB recJ mutants of Salmonella typhimurium are deficient in transduction of chromosomal markers and ColE1-derived plasmids, and also in the maintenance of ColE1 and F plasmids. Plasmid instability is less severe in recD recJ strains; ColE1 plasmid DNA preparations from these strains show an increased yield of high molecular weight (HMW) linear multimers and a concomitant reduction in plasmid monomers compared to...
