Abstract excerpt
The lethal and mutagenic effects on phage lambdacI857 of 60Co gamma-rays and of decay of 3H incorporated into phage DNA both as 8-3H-deoxyadenosine and 8-3H-deoxyguanosine (using 8-3H-adenine as a labelled DNA precursor) were studied on four isogenic Escherichia coli strains: AB1157 M(+)Y(+) (wild type, mutM(+) mutY(+)), AB1157 M(-)Y(+) (mutM::kan mutY(+) mutant deficient in the formamidopyrimidine-DNA...
