Abstract excerpt
In this study, we demonstrate that a strain bearing the delta (argF-lacZ)205(U169) deletion exhibits a high level of resistance to hydrogen peroxide compared with its undeleted parent. Our initial investigation of the mechanism behind the observed differences in peroxide resistance when parent and mutant strains are compared indicates that the parent strain carries a region near argF that is responsible for the...
