Efficiency of homologous intermolecular recombination at different locations on the Bacillus subtilis chromosome

I Biswas et al. J Bacteriol. 1992 Sep.

Abstract

The efficiencies of intermolecular recombination at 12 different locations on the Bacillus subtilis chromosome were determined by transforming competent cells with a nonreplicative plasmid. The efficiencies varied by only about threefold but were significantly different (P less than 0.05 by a chi-square test) for approximately 20% of the locations. The recA gene product is required for recombination, and the addA gene product appears to affect the variation in a site-specific way.
