Abstract
The mutagenesis in phage T 7 after MMSβ, HNO~2~β, hydroxylamineβ, 5βBUdRβ, and 2βAPβtreatment in relation to host controlled functions is investigated. There was no dependence of the induction of mutations on the character of the host strains (rec, hcr). A back mutation system (amber system) and a forward mutation system (host range system) have been used. Substances which cause mainly transitions from GC to AT do not lead or only rarely lead to reversions of the amber system; but chemicals producing transitions from AT to GC do so.

It has been proposed that the mutation fixation processes stimulated by SOS induction result from an induced infidelity of DNA replication (Radman 1974). The aim of this study was to determine if mutator mutations in the E. coli DNA polymerase III might affect UV-induced mutagenesis. Using a phage l
We have examined induced mutagenesis in rev7-1 mutants of Baker's yeast' Saccharomyces cerevisiae, using a variety of contrasting test systems and several different mutagens. UV-induced reversion frequencies of the ochre allele arg4-17, the putative missense allele ilvl-92 and the frameshift allele
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
