Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli strains defective for the repair of apurinic/apyrimidinic sites and for the UvrABC excision repair pathway could be constructed if they also carried a mutation in ung, which encodes uracil glycosylase, or sulA, which encodes an SOS-inducible inhibitor of septation. The resultant...
