Spontaneously arising mutL mutators in evolving Escherichia coli populations are the result of changes in repeat length.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 2003

Shaver Aaron C, Sniegowski Paul D

Abstract excerpt

Over the course of thousands of generations of growth in a glucose-limited environment, 3 of 12 experimental populations of Escherichia coli spontaneously and independently evolved greatly increased mutation rates. In two of the populations, the mutations responsible for this increased mutation r...
