Abstract

Strains of Escherichia coli K12 have been prepared that carry the ruv mutation in combination with lon or uvrA mutant alleles. The ruv minus uvrA minus double mutant is more sensitive to ultraviolet light than the urvA minus single mutant, whereas the strain with ruv and ion mutations shows the same sensitivity to ultraviolet light as the ruv minus single mutant.
