title: [Influence of DNA superhelicity on the major genetic processes in prokaryotes].
abstract: Some properties of superhelical DNA molecules and enzymes (topoisomerases) changing DNA superhelical density are discussed. Data on the effect of DNA supercoiling on replication, transcription, and recombination, and the participation of topoisomerases in these processes are presented.
