Abstract

RecBCD and RecFOR homologous recombination pathways induced bacterial chromosomal duplication-segregation by sodium selenite (SSe) at sub-inhibitory concentrations. This evidence suggests that SSe induces both, double and single DNA strand damage with a concomitant DNA repair response, however the strong dependence for recombinogenic activity of RecB product suggests that the main DNA repair pathway copes with dsDNA breaks. A role for SSe recombinogenic induction is proposed to explain its effect on DNA instability.
