We have constructed strains which are convenient and sensitive indicators of DNA damage and describe their use. These strains utilize an SOS::lac Z fusion constructed by Kenyon and Walker [Proc.

They can be used to characterize restriction systems and screen for restriction endonuclease mutants. Applications...
