✦ Synopsis

The adaptive-response is an inducible repair system of E. coli which reduces the mutagenic and cytotoxic effects of alkylation damage (Samson and Cairns, 1977). In adapted cells (cells exposed to sublethal doses of alkylating agents) the induction of W-reactivation and W-mutagenesis by alkylating agents is almost totally blocked. Despite the fact that adaptation has no detectable effect on UV mutagenesis in E. coli K-12, it does inhibit to some extent the UV and tif-1 mediated induction of SOS functions such as W-reactivation and lambda prophage induction. Furthermore, the kinetics of induction of W-mutagenesis following UV treatment are altered by adaptation. In this case the adaptive-response seems to specifically block the induction of an error-producing W-reactivating capacity which normally would increase soon after UV treatment, while affecting error-free W-reactivating systems to a lesser extent.

## Abstract The SOS system in __Escherichia coli__ is induced in response to DNA damage and the arrest of DNA synthesis. Here we show that in AB1157 bacteria starved for arginine, conditions for induction of adaptive mutations, the LexA‐dependent SOS system is induced, but that this occurs only whe

Insertion sites of the transposable element IS186 were physically mapped in the genome of E. coli K12 strain BHB2600. This strain maintains four IS186 copies of which three, assigned to 0.3, 14.1 and 51.8 map min., share common map positions with the three IS186 copies in strains W3110 and HB101. Th
