Ultraviolet light induction of recA protein in a recB uvrB mutant of Escherichia coli

J Bacteriol. 1980 Aug;143(2):1025-8. doi: 10.1128/jb.143.2.1025-1028.1980.

Abstract

Full and persistent ultraviolet light induction of recA protein with minimal bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid degradation implicates blocked replication sites rather than degradation products as the inducing signals.
