Abstract excerpt
We have examined the hypersensitivity of Escherichia coli recA13 mutant cells to killing by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitro-soguanidine (MNNG) and have shown out that despite MNNG-induced adaptation they remained vastly more sensitive to the cytotoxic effect of this agent than wild type cells. Because this might have been a consequence of a different extent of induction of the adaptive response in the recA13...
