Table I. In vivo recombination at psi and psiDC in E.coli strains carrying mutant xer genes.

Plasmid Genotype
  xerC+ xerD+ xerC+ xerDYF xerCYF xerD+ xerCYF xerDYF
p-psi.psi +++ +++
p-psiDC.psiDC ++ +

Plasmids were transformed into strains carrying the chromosomal copies of xer alleles indicated. The extent of recombination observed by agarose gel electrophoresis after overnight growth is indicated as: +++, 100% of substrate converted to product; ++, 50% of substrate converted to product; +, 15% of substrate converted to product; –, no detectable recombination.
