Specific Effects of a recB Mutation on the HfrH Strain of Escherichia coli

Damir Dermic' and Zeljko Trgovcevic'*

Ruder Boskovic' Institute, 10001 Zagreb, Croatia

Received 28 April 1998/Accepted 5 December 1998

The recB268::Tn10 mutation was introduced into the HfrH strain of Escherichia coli. Compared with recB F- and recB F+ cells, the viability of this mutant strain was much lower. Compared with wild-type HfrH, the recB derivative donated much shorter fragments of its chromosome to the recipient. It is suggested that the recB gene product (i.e., RecBCD enzyme) participates in Hfr transfer.
