Abstract excerpt
To discover the physiological role of the Bacillus subtilis ExoA protein, which is similar in amino acid sequence to Escherichia coli exonuclease III, an exoA::Cm disruption was constructed in the chromosomal DNA of B. subtilis. There was no clear difference in tolerance to hydrogen peroxide and alkylating agents between the disruptant and the wild type strain. An expression plasmid of the ExoA in E. coli was...
