Abstract excerpt

While it seems likely that the ability to induce the expression of recA-controlled genes is nearly universal among the eubacteria, the expression of plasmid-borne ultraviolet (UV-resistance and mutagenesis genes seems to be species-dependent in a complex fashion. Some plasmids encoding UV-resista...
