TL;DR
It is suggested that the process of recombination may be completed by local DNA repair synthesis on either side of the overlap and that certain of the enzymes involved may serve in both genetic recombination and in repair after irradiation.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesTHE DISAPPEARANCE OF THYMINE DIMERS FROM DNA: AN ERROR-CORRECTING MECHANISM
987 Citations1964R. B. Setlow, W. L. Carrier
The onset of DNA synthesis is associated with thymine dimer removal, which is suggested to be one step in cell recovery in resistant strains of E. coli.
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF RECOMBINATION-DEFICIENT MUTANTS OF ESCHERICHIA COLI K12
820 Citations1965Alvin J. Clark, Ann Dee Margulies
The number so obtained was subtracted from the number of infective centers present per ml of mating mixture in order to calculate the titer of zygoticallyinduced infective center.

712 Citations1964Richard P. Boyce, Paul Howard-Flanders
The findings suggest that the enzymatic removal of injured bases, including thymine dimers, and the reconstruction of the DNA from information on the complementary strand may be an important biological mechanism for the preservation of DNA.
Journal of Molecular BiologyEvidence for repair-replication of ultraviolet damaged DNA in bacteria
511 Citations1964David E. Pettijohn, Philip C. Hanawalt
These findings are consistent with the view that in ultraviolet-resistant organisms a mechanism for repair replication exists in which damaged single-strand regions of the chromosome can be excised and replaced, using the undamaged DNA strand as template.
ScienceThymine Dimers and Inhibition of DNA Synthesis by Ultraviolet Irradiation of Cells
349 Citations1963R. B. Setlow, P. A. Swenson +1 more
Measurements of the inhibition of DNA synthesis in bacteria and the formation of thymine dimers by ultraviolet irradiation of the cells indicate that one thymineDimer per 350-IA strand of DNA acts as a block to further synthesis.

Journal of BacteriologyGENETIC VARIATION IN THE SEX FACTOR OF <i>ESCHERICHIA COLI</i>
251 Citations1960Edward A. Adelberg, Sarah N. Burns
The mating type of Escherichia coli is determined by the presence or absence of the sex factor, and the name "episome" has been proposed for genetic determinants of this type, which have alternative states of existence as cytoplasmic particles or as attached chromosomal elements.
Journal of Molecular BiologyOn the mechanism of genetic recombination between DNA molecules
144 Citations1964Matthew Meselson
This and other features of the distribution of parental DNA among recombinant phages and among their descendants show that genetic recombination occurs by breakage and joining of double-stranded DNA molecules.
