Effect of Ultraviolet-Sensitive Mutants on Gene Inheritance in Mycobacterial Matings

Yasuo Mizuguchi 1
PMCID: PMC285592  PMID: 4811552

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.
