Abstract excerpt
From a Bacillus licheniformis wild type as well as a defined asporogenous derivative, stable UV hypersensitive mutants were generated by targeted deletion of the uvrBA operon, encoding highly conserved key components of the nucleotide excision repair. Comparative studies, which included the respective parental strains, revealed no negative side effects of the deletion, neither on enzyme secretion nor on...
