✦ Synopsis

Minicells derived from E. coli x796(F+) are refractory to infection by phage M 13. However, after infection of the minicell-producing strain with M 13, phage DNA is found to segregate efficiently into newly formed minicells. The M 13 specific DNA present in minicells isolated several hours after infection consists of single stranded viral DNA and double stranded replicative forms in nearly equal amounts. M 13 DNA containing minicells are capable of carrying out at least one complete round of single stranded DNA synthesis as shown by the flow of label from replicative forms to free single strands.

Synthesis of both chromosomal and plasmid (pBR322) DNA was measured in E. coli strains differing in their relA allele (relA+:CP78; relA:CP79). It was found that upon limitation of a required amino acid or after valine treatment to trigger a stringent response synthesis of pBR322 DNA was stimulated o

The striking similarity between the treatments that induce SOS functions and those that result in stable DNA replication (continuous DNA replication in the absence of protein synthesis) prompted us to examine the possibility of stable DNA replication being a recA+ lexA+-dependent SOS function. In ad
