Abstract excerpt

A mutant of Bacillus subtilis defective in the constitutive activity of O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase was isolated from a strain (ada-1) deficient in the adaptive response to DNA alkylation. Cells carrying the mutation dat-1 which was responsible for the defect in constitutive activity exh...
