The molecular nature of formaldehyde (HCH0)-induced mutations was studied in both human lymphoblasts and E. coli. Thirty HPRT-human lymphoblast colonies induced by eight repetitive 150 p M HCHO treatments were characterized by Southern blot analysis. Fourteen of these mutants (47%) had visible delet

The effect of photoreactivation of the ultraviolet radiation induced reversion of a trpE9777 frameshift mutation was studied in a uvrA6 derivative of Escherichia coli K12. Two different photoreactivation treatments were used, one providing a single flash of photoreactivating light and another provid
The frequency of lac mutations induced in an F'lacI s plasmid, transferred by conjugation from UV-irradiated, excision-deficient donors to excision-deficient, A pro lac recipients, is 2-3 fold higher than that typical of nonmating cells which contain the plasmid. These additional induced mutations c
Escherichia coli were isolated and screened for altered ribosomal proteins and functions. Amongst 58 strains investigated by electrophoresis one had an altered ribosomal protein $7, another one a mutated L14 and two showed altered L15 proteins. A correlation between these alterations and lincomycin
