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

Bridges, B. A.

Mutation in Escherichia coli under starvation conditions: a new pathway leading to small deletions in strains defective in mismatch correction.

Bridges, B A, Timms, A R

Strains of Escherichia coli carrying the mutY mutation lack a mismatch correction glycosylase that removes adenines from various mismatch situations. In growing bacteria, 8-oxoguanine-adenine...

Hazard identification: efficiency of short-term tests in identifying germ cell mutagens and putative nongenotoxic carcinogens.
