Genetic Analysis of Recombination-Deficient Mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 Carrying rec Mutations Cotransducible with thyA

Open access
Willetts, Neil S., Mount, David W.·1969·Journal of Bacteriology

Abstract

The rec mutations carried by 20 strains of Escherichia coli K-12 which are defective in genetic recombination and sensitive to ultraviolet light and X rays, and whose λ lysogens show spontaneous phage production, have been mapped near thyA . In 15 of the strains, the rec mutation fails to complement recB21 but complements rec-22 . The other five strains carry a rec mutation which complements recB21 but not rec-22 . These mutations map closer to thyA than those which fail to complement recB21 . They therefore appear to be defective in a different recombination gene, denoted recC . The order of recB and recC on the linkage map of E. coli K-12 is thyA-recC-recB-argA .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
