Effect of oxygen and UV irradiation on nucleic acid and protein syntheses in Bacteroides fragilis.
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.
