Abstract excerpt
Bacterial deficiencies in the DNA repair system can produce mutator strains that promote adaptive microevolution. However, the role of mutator strains in marine Pseudoalteromonas, capable of generating various gain-of-function genetic variants within biofilms, remains largely unknown. In this study, inactivation of mutS in Pseudoalteromonas lipolytica conferred an approximately 100-fold increased resistance to...
