Abstract excerpt
Earlier studies have revealed a radiation-induced process leading to the loss of lambda prophage recombinogenicity. The process takes place in UV-irradiated Escherichia coli cells, and renders the prophage incapable of site-specific recombination with the host chromosome, and of general recombination with an infecting homologous phage. It was found that the inhibition of prophage recombinogenicity depends on...
