MiniF, a 9.3 kb fragment of the dispensable F plasmid, carries genes necessary for its replication and partition as well as for the expression of an SOS signal. The arrest of replication of a thermo-sensitive miniFts at 42 degrees C induced SOS functions such as prophage lambda, sfiA expression, W-r
## Abstract Results of this study indicate a radioprotective effect of peroxiredoxinβI. PeroxiredoxinβI is an antioxidant that scavenges hydroperoxides, whereas reactive oxygen species are the main mediators of ionizing radiation toxicity. We hypothesized that peroxiredoxinβI might be induced by ce
