폐염균 recP와 rec-8 유전자의 비교

  • Published : 1992.12.29

Abstract

S. pneumoniae recP mutant was compared with rec-8 mutant to identify whether they are the same gene or not by determining sensitivity to DNA damaging agents. recP and rec-8 mutant have almost same sensitivity to UV, ethylmethane sulfonate, and methylmethane sulfonate, suggesting that recP has the same function as the rec-8 gene in DNA repair.
