When E. coli F+ cells carrying the dna-167 or dnaC2 mutation, which causes the temperature-sensitive initiation of DNA replication, are exposed to a non-permissive temperature to stop the replication of chromosome and F factor, and then transferred back to a permissive temperature with the addition

Temperature-sensitive mutants defective in the initiation of DNA replication are exposed to a non-permissive temperature to complete already initiated replication, and are transferred back to a permissive temperature. DNA synthesis can resume in the presence of rifampicin or rifampicin plus chloramp
Flow cytometry was used to study initiation of DNA replication in Escherichia coli K12 after induced expression of a plasmid-borne dnaA+ gene. When the dnaA gene was induced from either the plac or the lambda pL promoter initiation was stimulated, as evidenced by an increase in the number of origins
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
