Abstract

The effect of spermidine on the DNA-damaging effect of dioxidine and hydrogen peroxide was studied on the cells of the lux-biosensors E. coli MG1655 (pColD-lux) and (pKatG-lux), luminescent as a result of activation of the promoters of the colicin colD and catalase katG genes. It was shown that spermidine reduces the genotoxic effect induced by the studied drugs by 40 and 23% in E. coli cells, and also reduces the number of DNA breaks.
