Abstract excerpt
The effect of the recombinational deficiency on W-reactivation of UV-damaged phage lambda was explored. In this paper we show that W-reactivation is reduced by the recB21 and recF143 mutations after bleomycin (BM) and UV treatment. Combination of these mutations in the recB21recF143 double mutant blocks W-reactivation completely after BM induction, but leaves residual W-reactivation ability after UV-irradiation,...
