We found that large, non-circular forms of the chromosome accumulate in varying amounts in various recombination-defective mutants of Escherichia coli .
The other recombination-defective mutants, in otherwise rec +background, did not accumulate the huge linears probably because the DNA was degraded by active RecBCD enzyme or was not produced.
Whatever the reason, we chose to use the rich medium in which the rec +strain produce less linear forms, because the background is clear and may allow sensitive detection of their increase in a survey of various recombination-defective mutants.
In this work, we employed the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis procedure to measure large non-circular forms of the chromosome obtained from various recombination-defective mutants in rec +, recBC sbcA , and recBC sbcBC genetic backgrounds.
