Abstract excerpt

We examined whether or not peroxide stress induces a repair capacity for oxidatively damaged DNA in Escherichia coli cells. Peroxide stress was brought about by adding 30 microM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to exponentially growing cells. The following results were obtained. (1) After exposure to H2O...
