Identification and characterization of recD, a gene affecting plasmid maintenance and recombination in Escherichia coli.

We isolated mutations that reduce plasmid stability in dividing cell populations and mapped these mutations to a previously undescribed gene, recD, that affects recombination frequency and consequently the formation of plasmid concatemers. Insertions of the transposable element Tn10 into recD result...
