title: Effect of ultraviolet-sensitive mutants on gene inheritance in mycobacterial matings.
abstract: Evidence is presented suggesting that a rec mutation in one strain (presumably female) of a mating pair of Mycobacterium smegmatis strains prevented the appearance of recombinants, whereas a rec mutation in the other strain (presumably male) did not.
