Alkaline gel electrophoresis assay to detect DNA strand breaks and repair mechanisms in Escherichia coli
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can induce lesions in different cellular targets, including DNA. Stannous chloride (SnCl2) is a ROS generator, leading to lethality in Escherichia coli (E. coli), with the base excision repair (BER) mechanism playing a role in this process. Many techniques have been dev...
