Abstract
RecBCD protein, necessary for Escherichia coli dam mutant viability, i s directly required for DNA repair. Recombination genes recF+, recN+, recO+, and recQ+ are not essential for dam mutant viability; they are required for recBC sbcBC dam mutant survival. mutH, mutL, or mutS muta tions do not suppress subinduction of SOS genes in dam mutants.
