Abstract

The dam gene of E. coli can be inactivated by insertion of Tn9 or Mud phage. Strains bearing these mutations are viable indicating that the dam gene product is dispensable.

MeSH Terms

DNA Transposable Elements Escherichia coli/genetics Genes, Bacterial Methyltransferases/genetics Mutation Site-Specific DNA-Methyltransferase (Adenine-Specific)
