Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms used by members of the archaeal branch of life to repair DNA damage are not well understood. DNA damage responses have been of particular interest in hyperthermophilic archaea, since these microbes live under environmental conditions that constantly elevate the potential for DNA damage. The work described here focuses on the response of four Sulfolobus solfataricus strains to ionizing radiation...
