Abstract excerpt
The presence of the phi 105cts23 mutant prophage in Bacillus subtilis induces a series of pleiotropic effects that could be ascribed to an anti-SOS activity. In order to circumvent the phage function responsible for this phenomenon, the cts23 mutant repressor was cloned and sequenced. The isolated repressor reduced the survival capacity of the host cells after mitomycin C or nalidixic acid treatments and lowered...
