TABLE 4.
Influence of SSB overproduction from the multicopy plasmid pJA40 (with ssb+) on the UV-induced increase of T4 2− EOP
| Strain | Relevant genotype | Relative EOPa of T4 2− |
|---|---|---|
| BT161 | Wild-type pUC19 | 212 ± 9.3 |
| BT168 | Wild-type pJA40 | 5.1 ± 0.8 |
| BT230 | lexA3 pUC19 | 184 ± 16 |
| BT231 | lexA3 pJA40 | 15.7 ± 8.9 |
a The EOP on irradiated cells (135 J/m2) followed by aeration at 30°C for 120 min is given relative to the EOP on unirradiated cells. The data are means ± standard deviations (n = 3).
