Abstract excerpt

Previous work has shown that lethal heat treatment of Bacillus subtilis spores lacking the major DNA-binding proteins SASP-alpha and -beta (alpha-beta- spores) causes significant DNA damage, including many single-strand breaks. In this work we have used a reagent specific for aldehydes present in...
