title: Molecular cloning of Bacillus subtilis genes involved in DNA metabolism.
abstract: Different clones carrying a chromosomal DNA fragment able to transform Bacillus subtilis mutants dnaA13, dnaB19, dnaG5, recG40 and polA42 to a wild-type phenotype were isolated from a library constructed in plasmid pJH101. A lambda recombinant clone carrying a chromosomal fragment able to transform dnaC mutants was obtained from a lambda Charon 4A library. A restriction map of the cloned DNA fragments was constructed. The 11.3 kb cloned DNA fragment of plasmid pMP60-13 containing the wild-type sequence of dnaG5 was shown to transform a recF33 mutant as well.
