Abstract excerpt
To document genomic changes during long periods of storage, we analyzed Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium LT7, a mutator strain that was previously reported to have higher rates of mutations compared to other serovar Typhimurium strains such as LT2. Upon plating directly from sealed agar stabs that had been stocked at room temperature for up to four decades, many auxotrophic mutants derived from LT7 gave...
