Abstract
In Escherichia coli, plasmid DNA modified with N-2-aminofluorene adducts survived equally well in wild-type, uvrA, or uvrB strains. Increased sensitivity was found in uvrC and uvrD strains. Moreover, N-2-aminofluorene-mediated toxicity in the uvrC background was reversed when an additional uvrA mutation was introduced into the strain.
