A new look at adaptive mutations in bacteria.

Abstract excerpt

This is a short survey of the adaptive mutation processes that arise in non- or slowly-dividing bacterial cells and includes: (i) bacterial models in which adaptive mutations are studied; (ii) the mutagenic lesions from which these mutations derive; (iii) the influence of DNA repair processes on the spectrum of adaptive mutations. It is proposed that in starved cells, likely as during the MFD phenomenon, lesions...
