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

To study the influence of the local base composition upon UV-induced mutability the reversion frequencies of ten trpA mutants with known codon sequences at position 211 were compared. Comparison of mutant strains reverting by the same base substitution type but with different dipyrimidinic sequences
Genetic analysis of histidine independent (His +) revertants induced by ultraviolet light in the his-4 E. coli strain ABl157 was carried out: 83% carried ochre (UAA) suppressor m~atations and 17% carried back mutations to his + or (intragenic?) suppressors not detectably separable from his-4. Using
