Abstract
Plasmid DNA covalently modified with benzopyrene diol epoxide was introduced into Escherichia coli strains which differed in their capacity for repair and mutagenesis at various times after SOS induction. The uvrA+-dependent repair activity rose and fell before umuC+SOS-dependent mutagenesis was fully expressed.
