Abstract excerpt
We isolated and characterized a novel, radiation 'hypermutable' mutant of Deinococcus radiodurans. Compared with the wild-type strain D. radiodurans IR, this mutator strain, designated S101, exhibited sensitivity to UV light, gamma-ray, mitomycin C, and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Spontaneous revertants of S101 that restored wild-type phenotype (non-mutability and resistance to these DNA-damaging...
