Excision-repair capacity in Streptococcus pneumoniae: cloning and expression of a uvr-like gene.

Mutation research - 1 May 1990

Sicard N, Estevenon A M

Abstract excerpt

Although deficient in photoreactivation and some SOS-like functions, Streptococcus pneumoniae has the capacity to carry out excision repair when exposed to UV light. The repair ability and sensitivity to UV irradiation or treatment with chemical agents in the wild type and a UV-sensitive mutant s...
