## Abstract We examined the role of the __O__^6^‐alkylguanine‐DNA alkyltransferase encoded by __ogt__ gene in the sensitivity of __Escherichia coli__ to the mutagenic effects of the dibromoalkanes, dibromoethane and dibromomethane, by comparing responses in __ogt__^−^ bacteria to those in their iso
We have constructed double mutants carrying either ssb-1 or ssb-113 alleles, which encode temperature-sensitive single strand DNA binding proteins (SSB), and the uvrD::Tn5 allele causing deficiency in DNA helicase II, and have examined sensitivity to ultraviolet light (UV), recombination and spontan
## Abstract DNA transfer directly from cell to cell (conjugation) is common among prokaryotes, particularly Gram‐negative bacteria like Escherichia coli. The phenomenon invariably requires a set of plasmid genes in the DNA donor cell. In addition, E. coli itself makes limited and specific contribut
## Abstract From determination of amounts and concentrations of biopolymers and solutes in the cytoplasm of __Escherichia coli__, we are obtaining information needed to assess the effect of macromolecular crowding on cytoplasmic properties and processes of osmotically stressed bacteria. We observe
