Elimination of UV-resistance inducing effect of R46 R factor by 5-fluorouracil
Acta Biochim Biophys Hung.
1987.
Abstract
R-factor curing capacity of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was studied. Well detectable increase in UV-resistance was found in E. coli K12 AB1157 strain and its recB-, recC-, recF- mutants harbouring R46 R-factor. After treatment with 5-FU, these strains lost not only the antibiotic resistance coded for R46 R-factor but their UV-radioresistance, as well.
