Abstract excerpt
PCR was used to amplify an internal region of the recA gene from Streptococcus parasanguis FW213. The PCR fragment was used as a probe to recover the entire streptococcal recA gene from an S. parasanguis genomic library, and the sequence of the gene was determined. The deduced product of the S. parasanguis recA gene showed a high degree of amino acid identity with other prokaryotic RecA proteins. The cloned recA...
