Abstract excerpt
The post-UV phenotypes conferred by wild-type plasmids R391 and pYD1, which increase UV-induced mutagenesis but sensitise Escherichia coli AB1157 umuC+ uvrB+ to UV, were compared, alone and in combination with that of plasmid pGW16, which sensitises AB1157 to low, but protects against high UV doses. All three plasmids increased UV resistance when present in Shigella sonnei. No plasmid significantly affected the...
