Abstract
Five UV-sensitive mutants obtained by N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) treatment of the Staphyloccocus epidermidis W5 strain were characterized phenotypically by assaying their UV- and MNNG-sensitivities, lysogenic inducibility, host-cell reactivation and Weigle reactivation capacities. The results were compared with those of well-characterized Escherichia coli strains, permitting the identification of: 2 mutants that behave as Uvr− Umu−; 1 mutant that appears analogous to Uvr−; 1 mutant that resembles LexA− and 1 mutant that exhibits a RecA− phenotype. The study of these mutants can contribute to the understanding of the repair mechanisms in S. epidermidis.
