Theta-type DNA replication stimulates homologous recombination in the Bacillus subtilis chromosome.

Morel-Deville F, Ehrlich S D
Abstract excerpt
To test the effects of theta-type replication on homologous DNA recombination, we integrated in the chromosome of Bacillus subtilis a structure comprising a conditional replication region and direct repeats of approximately 4 kb. The replicon was derived from a broad-host-range plasmid, pAM beta...
