Abstract excerpt
The repair of double strand breaks after gamma-irradiation in wild-type Escherichia coli lysogenic for lambda cI857 red3 is more efficient when lambda Gam protein is present. This phenomenon, called gam dependent radioresistance, requires the interaction of RecBCD enzyme and Gam protein. We compared cell survival after gamma-irradiation in wild-type and mutant lysogens with and without induction of Gam by...
