A method was developed for the isolation of spontaneous mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 with deletions extending from the srl operon to the adjacent recA gene. The srl-recA deletion mutants were extremely sensitive to dNA-damaging agents; unable to support growth of the feckless red gam mutant lamb

The effect of the cellular level of RecA protein on the ability of E. coli K12 bacteria to (i) survive UV-irradiation (ii) promote UV-reactivation of UV-damaged phage lambda (iii) induce prophage lambda was determined in bacterial mutants with discrete increasing levels of RecA protein. The various
The SOS response in UV-irradiated bacteria enhances the survival and mutagenesis of infecting damaged bacteriophage 2. In a lexA(Def) strain, SOS bacterial genes are fully derepressed by an inactivating mutation in the LexA repressor gene. We tested several lexA(Def) derivative strains for their cap
Mutants with a feedback resistant N-acetylglutamate synthase have been isolated from a proA/B, argD, argR strain by screening for proline excretion on minimal medium with arginine. The feedback resistant character of three mutants was transduced into an argA (N-acetylglutamate synthase negative) str
