Abstract excerpt
recA1, recA13 and recA56 are considered null alleles of the Escherichia coli recA gene because they were shown to have essentially no activity in vivo. In this study, we used strains harboring the recA null alleles and their recA-proficient congenic counterpart to assess the lethal and the mutagenic effects elicited by near-UV(308 nm) coherent radiation generated by a XeCl excimer laser. We compared these effects...
