Abstract excerpt
To study the role of different DNA repair genes in the resistance of Deinococcus radiodurans to mono- and polychromatic UV radiation, wild-type strain and knockout mutants in RecA, PprA, and IrrE of D. radiodurans were irradiated with UV-C (254 nm), UV-(A + B) (280-400 nm) and UV-A (315-400 nm) radiation, and survival was monitored. The strain deficient in recA was highly sensitive to UV-C radiation compared to...
