Cell division, guillotining of dimer chromosomes and SOS induction in resolution mutants (dif, xerC and xerD) of Escherichia coli.

Molecular microbiology - 1 May 2000

Hendricks E C, Szerlong H, Hill T, Kuempel P

Abstract excerpt

We have studied the growth and division of xerC, xerD and dif mutants of Escherichia coli, which are unable to resolve dimer chromosomes. These mutants express the Dif phenotype, which includes reduced viability, SOS induction and filamentation, and abnormal nucleoid morphology. Growth was studied in synchronous cultures and in microcolonies derived from single cells. SOS induction and filamentation commenced...
