Abstract excerpt
When Escherichia coli cells are stressed by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), synthesis of a large number of proteins is repressed, while several other proteins are induced. Since there is evidence that some lethal effects of near-UV (NUV) radiation may be directly or indirectly due to hydrogen peroxide generated by NUV light, treatment of cells with NUV radiation or H2O2 might be expected to repress and induce the same...
