Absence of error-prone repair in a Vibrio species |
|
| Authors: | J A Thomson M E Barros C Giesemann |
| Abstract: | The effect of various DNA-damaging agents on a Vibrio species was investigated. The organism was readily mutable by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and mitomycin C but not by UV light. No Weigle reactivation of UV-irradiated alpha 3a phage was detected. These results suggest that an error-prone repair mechanism is lacking in this species. |
