Abstract excerpt
The recA gene from Clostridium perfringens was cloned using degenerate oligonucleotide primers designed from conserved regions of RecA proteins from other bacteria. The 1089 bp gene encoded a putative RecA protein with 69% amino acid sequence similarity to the RecA protein from Bacillus subtilis. The C. perfringens recA gene was induced by exposure to methyl methanesulphonate and complemented a recA mutant of...
