title: [Effect of violamycin BI on the process of excision repair in Escherichia coli K 12 following UV irradiation].
abstract: The influence of violamycin B I on the process of excision repair of DNA-damages after UV-irradiation has been studied by observing the capacity to rejoin single-strand breaks introduced in the DNA at the beginning of the repair process. The number of single-strand breaks remaining unrepaired in the DNA was higher in presence of violamycin B I. Sedimentation analysis of the DNA of unirradiated cells showed in presence of violamycin B I only a small change in the molecular weight. As a possible reason for the lower capacity of the cells to accomplish repair steps following incision in presence of violamycin B I an inhibition of the function of repair enzymes by interaction of the antibiotic with the DNA-template is discussed.
