Exponentially growing recA mutant cells of Escherichia coli display pronounced DNA degradation that starts at the sites of DNA damage and depends on RecBCD nuclease (ExoV) activity. As a consequence of this QUOTATION_MARKrecklessQUOTATION_MARK DNA degradation, populations of recA mutants contain a l...
