Abstract

Deletions of the uvrB gene were not obtained in polA1 strains of Escherichia coli either by selecting for spontaneous deletions or by transduction from strains carrying such deletions. A strain forming a temperature-sensitive deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase I and carrying a deletion of the uvrB gene is inviable at the nonpermissive temperature.
