Adaptive repair of cross-links in DNA of Micrococcus radiodurans.
Cross-links in the DNA of Micrococcus radiodurans induced by mitomycin C were repaired during post-incubation. This repair process was inhibited in cells post-incubated in the presence of chloramphenicol. However, the removal of cross-links in DNA was almost normal, even in the presence of chloramphenicol, if the cells were pretreated with lower concentrations of mitomycin C.
