Abstract excerpt
The UV-mediated induction of recA and sfiA genes in Escherichia coli cells with distinct levels of dATP has been studied. Low levels of dATP were obtained by using either a temperature-sensitive ribonucleotide (RDP) reductase-deficient (nrdA) mutant or a wild-type strain treated with hydroxyurea. High pools of dATP were achieved by using a plasmid overproducing RDP reductase. The results obtained show that...
