Using a nonselective method, we have estimated the proportion of untargeted mutations in the lad gene of E. coli by transferring either irradiated or unirradiated F' pro lac plasmids from an excision deficient donor to an excision deficient pro lac deleted recipient that had been irradiated and allo
The antimutagenic effect of cinnamaldehyde on mutagenesis was investigated using ten kinds of chemical mutagen in Escherichia coli WP2s (uvr A-). In addition, the frequency of mutation induction by each mutagen in an SOS repair deficient (umuC-) strain was compared with that in a wild-type (umuC+) s
Two multicopy plasmids carrying either the umuDC or the mueAB operon were used to compare the efficiency of UmuDC and MucAB proteins in UV mutagenesis of Eseheriehia coli K12. It was found that in recA + uvr + bacteria, plasmid pIC80, mucAB + mediated UV mutagenesis more efficiently than did plasmid
E. coli strains carrying the dam-3 and dam-4 mutations resulting in reduced levels of 6-methyladenine in the DNA have been found to be more sensitive to base analogue mutagenesis than dam+ strains. Mutagenesis by EMS was also found to be enhanced in dam- strains. Dam- mutants however were not found
