Recombination-deficient mutant of Streptococcus faecalis

Recombination-deficient mutant of Streptococcus faecalis

Y Yagi et al. J Bacteriol. 1980 Aug.

Abstract

An ultraviolet radiation-sensitive derivative of Streptococcus faecalis strain JH2-2 was isolated and found to be deficient in recombination, using a plasmid-plasmid recombination system. The strain was sensitive to chemical agents which interact with deoxyribonucleic acid and also underwent deoxyribonucleic acid degradation after ultraviolet irradiation. Thus, the mutant has properties similar to those of recA strains of Escherichia coli.
