Abstract excerpt
Plasmid pKM101, which carries muc genes that are analogous in function to chromosomal umu genes, protected Escherichia coli strains AB1157 uvrB+ umuC+, JC3890 uvrB umuC+, TK702 uvrB+ umuC and TK501 uvrB umuC against ultraviolet irradiation (UV). Plasmid pGW16, a derivative of pKM101 selected for its increased spontaneous mutator effect, also gave some protection to the UmuC-deficient strains, TK702 and TK501....
