Abstract

ABSTRACT Using a direct enrichment and screening procedure, mutants of Escherichia coli have been isolated in which recombination frequencies for several intragenic Hfr × F- crosses are significantly higher (twofold to sixfold) than in the parental strains. These hyper-recombination mutations comprised five new mutS  - and one new mutL  - allele. Together with other known mut  - alleles, they were analyzed for effects on intragenic recombination using several types of crosses. Hyper-recombination was found for mutS  -, mutL  -, mutH (=mutR)- and mutU (=uvrD)-, with the largest effects seen for certain alleles of uvrD; these resulted in over 20-fold excesses in recombinant production for Hfr × F- crosses and F'-chromosome homogenotization. Spontaneous mutator ability was not always correlated with degree of hyper-recombination.
