Abstract:Deinococcus radiodurans, a natural transformation (NT) enabled bacterium renowned for its exceptional radiation resistance, employs unique DNA repair and oxidative stress mitigation mechanisms as a strategic response to DNA damage. This study excavate into the intricate roles of NT machinery in the stressedD. radiodurans, focusing on the genescomEA,comEC,endA,pilTanddprA, which are instrumental in the uptake and processing of extracellular DNA (eDNA). Our data reveals that NT not only supports the nutritional … Show more
