Journal of general microbiology - 1 Jul 1990
Simonson C S, Kokjohn T A, Miller R V
Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO lacks UV-inducible Weigle reactivation and Weigle mutagenesis of UV-damaged bacteriophages. This lack of UV-inducible, error-prone DNA repair appears to be due to the absence of efficiently expressed umuDC-like genes in this species. When the P. aeruginosa recA gene is introduced into a recA(Def) mutant of Escherichia coli K12, the P. aeruginosa recA gene product is capable of mediating...
