Abstract excerpt
The rate of Escherichia coli mutation with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine was found to depend on the age of the culture and the pH value of the incubation medium. The mutability of late-logarithmic cells was higher than that of mid-logarithmic cells. Rifampicin, a transcription inhibitor, enhanced the mutagenic action of MNNG on cells from the late logarithmic and early stationary phases suspended in a...
