A conditional lethal mutator, dnaQ49, was found in Escherichia coli K12. The dnaQ49 mutation caused stimulation of rifampicin-, nalidixic acid- and streptomycin-resistant mutation frequencies 100 to 2000 fold at 30 degrees C and the frequencies were further increased 50 to 100 fold at 35 degrees C o
Among temperature resistant revertants of a temperature sensitive E. Coli alanyl-tRNA synthetase mutant a strain was found which contains an alanyl-tRNA synthetase with an additional mutation in the structural gene of the enzyme. This mutant enzyme has a 9 or 38 fold decreased Km value for alanine c
The sequences of a collection of 261 spontaneous lacI- mutants recovered in a PolA- strain of Escherichia coli have indicated an increase in the frequency of most classes of mutation in this strain. Among base substitutions in lacI, a preference for transversions over transitions was observed. In ad
