Immunobiological Properties of Francisella tularensis 15/10 Strain with Deleted recA Gene [PDF]
Deletion of recA gene in Francisella tularensis 15/10 genome leads to the increase in its sensitivity to ultraviolet irradiation, reduction of the homologous recombination capacity, and a slight decline of virulence for mice.
