Abstract excerpt
Intraplasmid recombination frequency was assessed in several Escherichia coli K12 strains by the kinetic bioluminescence method. Enhanced plasmid recombination was observed in two mutant E. coli K12 strains, which were hyperresistant to DNA-damaging agents, gamma-rays, photosensitizer 8-methoxyps...
