DNA sequence analysis of products synthesized in vitro by pol IV and pol V was conducted by transforming an E. coli JM109 recA strain with the DNA synthesis reaction products. The DNA sequence opposite the lesion obtained for individual clones is shown. Complex deletions refer to deletions accompanied by at least one additional mutation.
