✦ Synopsis

The mutagenic activity of ozone was investigated by the isolation of streptomycin-resistant mutants (Smr) in different strains of Escherichia coli. RecA, lexA, polA and parental strains were ozonated and streptomycin-resistant mutants were scored after a short or long phenotypic delay. Our results suggest that ozone is an active mutagen for forward mutation and that this oxidizing agent could be able to induce mutations via two mechanisms: directly and indirectly by the rec-lex error-prone repair system.

Amino acid starved cells of an E. coli relA strain accumulate a large amount of pBR322 plasmid DNA. In this study ColEl related plasmids of different copy number and size including a high copy number plasmid mutant of pBR322 were amplified in a relA strain of E. coli K-12 under amino acid limitation

A tenfold increase in the spontaneous reversion frequency of two of six lacZ frameshift mutations tested was observed in strains containing the following DNA polymerase I mutations--polA1, polA5, polA6, polAex1, res-3 and resA1. Reconstruction experiments indicated that this increase was not the res
