title: Effect of oxygen and UV irradiation on nucleic acid and protein syntheses in Bacteroides fragilis.
abstract: Macromolecular synthesis in Bacteroides fragilis was decreased by oxygen. DNA degradation and synthesis were inhibited by UV irradiation and oxygen, but RNA and protein syntheses were relatively unaffected.
