title: DNA repair and its relation to recombination-deficient and other mutations in Bacillus subtilis.
abstract: DNA repair processes operating in Bacillus subtilis are similar to other transformable bacterial systems. Radiation-sensitive, recombination-deficient mutants are blocked in distinct steps leading to recombination. DNA polymerase I is essential for the repair of X-ray-induced damage to DNA but not for recombination.
