Postreplication repair of ultraviolet-irradiated transforming deoxyribonucleic acid in Bacillus subtilis

Journal Article · · J. Bacteriol.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6602206
Repair of ultraviolet-irradiated transforming deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in several strains of Bacillus subtilis was studied in order to determine the effects of excision repair and postreplication repair on transformation. Two mutations that cause a Uvr/sup -/ phenotype (uvr-1 and uvr-42) were shown to have strikingly different effects on repair of ultraviolet-irradiated transforming DNA.
