DNA repair and its relation to recombination-deficient and other mutations in Bacillus subtilis

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4144530
DNA repair processes operating in Bacillus subtilis are similar to other transformable bacterial systems. Radiation-sensitive, recombination-deficient mutants are blocked in distinct steps leading to recombination. DNA polymerase I is essential for the repair of x-ray-induced damage to DNA but not for recombination. (auth)
