  • Title: Isolation and characterization of an Escherichia coli K-12 mutant with a temperature-sensitive recA- phenotype.
    Author: Lloyd RG, Low B, Godson GN, Birge EA.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1974 Oct; 120(1):407-15. PubMed ID: 4607624.
    Abstract:
    A mutation that causes a temperature-sensitive RecA(-) phenotype was identified in a derivative of a PolA(-) strain that failed to grow at high temperature. The mutant allele (recA200) was shown to be linked to cysC, conferred a sharply temperature-sensitive, ultraviolet-sensitive Rec(-) phenotype in the range 35 to 42 C, and in crosses failed to show complementation at 42 C with Hfr's that transferred recA(-). Double mutants that carried both recA200 and polA were examined for ability to grow and synthesize DNA at restrictive temperatures.
