Description

Stationary Phase Mutagenesis is a process where a bacterium can accumulate mutations in the absence of cell division. This may occur via competent DNA uptake and oxidant DNA damage and repair. ComEA is a transmembrane protein in B. subtilis that is required for the transport of exogenous DNA into the cell. (Figure 1)
