Abstract excerpt
We have isolated a UV-induced temperature-sensitive mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis that fails to grow at 42 degrees C and exhibits a filamentous phenotype following incubation at the nonpermissive temperature, reminiscent of a defect in cell division. Complementation of this mutant with an M. smegmatis genomic library and subsequent subcloning reveal that the defect lies within the M. smegmatis dnaG gene...
