Abstract excerpt
We report that the SOS response is induced in Escherichia coli by infection with mutant filamentous phage that are defective in initiation of the complementary (minus)-strand synthesis. One such mutant, R377, which lacks the entire region of the minus-strand origin, failed to synthesize any detec...
