RecA+-Dependent Repair of Gamma-Ray Damage to Escherichia coli Does Not Require Recombination Between Existing Homologous Chromosomes

B. A. Bridges

MRC Cell Mutation Unit, University of Sussex, Falmer, Brighton, England

ABSTRACT

Chemostat-grown Escherichia coli showed recA+-dependent resistance to gamma radiation even though between 50 and 75% of the population possessed only a single unreplicated genome, suggesting that recombination between homologous chromosomes before replication is not necessary for manifestation of recA+-dependent resistance to gamma radiation.
