title: Functional characteristics of the recA gene from Serratia marcescens strain Sb.
abstract: The cloned recA gene from Serratia marcescens Sb was expressed and complemented defects in the UV repair, recombination, and SOS induction of an Escherichia coli host deleted for recA. Moreover, the Serratia gene, recA (Sm), supported the same frequency of recombination per unit length of DNA as did the homologous Escherichia coli gene, recA(Ec).
