Abstract excerpt
Cells cope with radiation damage through several mechanisms: (1) increased DNA repair activity, (2) scavenging and inactivation of radiation-induced radical molecules, and (3) entry into a G0-like quiescent state. We have investigated a chromosomal rearrangement to elucidate further the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying these phenomena. A mutant of Escherichia coli JM83 (phi 80dlacZ delta M15) was...
