Abstract
An UV radiation-sensitive derivative of S. faecalis strain JH2-2 was isolated and was deficient in recombination, using a plasmid-plasmid recombination system. The strain was sensitive to chemical agents which interact with DNA and also underwent DNA degradation after UV irradiation. Thus, the mutant has properties similar to those of recA strains of Escherichia coli.This publication has 32 references indexed in Scilit:
