Abstract excerpt
The recA13 mutant of Escherichia coli strain K-12, which lacks recombination and SOS error-prone DNA repair is hypersensitive to nalidixic acid and to the newer 4-quinolones ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin and ofloxacin. However, whereas recombination-proficient but SOS repair-deficient strains, such as those carrying the lexA3 or recA430 alleles are no more sensitive to nalidixic than the lexA+ recA+ parent, they are...
