RESUMO

Transient induction of lambda prophage increases the ultraviolet light resistance of most exponentially growing Escherichia coli lysogens. Resistance is increased in wild-type, recB, recB recC, recB recC recF, and recB recC recL hosts. No enhancement in recA lysogens was found, nor was there enhancement in stationary cultures. Enhancement was dependent upon the lambdared recombination system. Transient induction also increases the genetic recombination rate in recB lysogens as measured in Hfr X F- matings.
