Abstract excerpt
The survival (only after the adaptation to methylmethane sulfonate, MMS) and repair of DNA postreplication gaps in UV-irradiated Escherichia coli, adapted to MMS (20 mkg/ml for 3 h) and ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS, 100 mkg/ml for 3 h), have been investigated. The survival of MMS-adapted bacteria of wild strains B/r and K12 AB1157 somewhat increased, whereas the survival of AB1886 uvrA mutant, which unlike the...
