Abstract excerpt

The mechanism of recombination of tandem repeats in the chromosome of Escherichia coli was investigated by genetic means. Tandem repeats 624 bp long were introduced into the lacZ gene of E. coli and the efficiency of deletion of one repeat was compared in different recombination mutants. No effec...
