Recombination deficient mutants of Rhizobium meliloti 41.
Two mutants deficient in homologous genetic recombination have been isolated from Rhizobium meliloti 41 after Tn5 mutagenesis. Both mutants are defective in the induction of temperate phage 16-3 by UV-light, Mytomycin-C or Bleomycin, their UV sensitivity is more pronounced than that of the wild-type strain, and they lack the 'SOS activity' responsible for induced mutations.
