Mutation frequency decline (MFD) in Escherichia coli was examined to demonstrate repair of targeting photoproducts during the post-UV incubation required in this process. Repair of mutation-targeting cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (T <> C) was demonstrated when a correlation was established between t

The involvement of GATC sites in directing mismatch correction for the elimination of replication errors in Escherichia coli was investigated in vivo by analyzing mutation rates for a gene carried on a series of related plasmids that contain 2, 1 and 0 such sites. This gene encoding chloramphenicol
The effects of the photodynamic action of methylene blue (MB-PDA) on strains of Escherichia coli were investigated to determine whether the dye could be used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Using the method of alkaline sucrose gradient sedimentation, it was shown that in darkness MB induces a type of
Mutation of the ruv gene of E. coli is associated with sensitivity to radiation, and filamentous growth after transient inhibition of DNA synthesis. The filamentation of ruv strains is abolished by mutations in sfiA or sfiB that prevent SOS induced inhibition of cell division, but this does not rest
