Table 3. Beta function supports full ssDNA recombination.

	Gal+ recombinants per 108 cells*
Oligo	HME43 mut+	HME43 mutS†
100 (T·C)	2.9 × 105	1.6 × 107 (55)
101 (A·G)	4.4 × 104	1.0 × 106 (23)
144 (C·C)	1.2 × 107	1.3 × 107 (1)
145 (G·G)	2.6 × 103	1.0 × 106 (385)

^*Strain HME43 is galK_am and deleted for red genes exo and gam (9).

^†Fold increase in recombination by deleting mutS is indicated in parentheses.
