Abstract excerpt
Azotobacter chroococcum MAL-201 (MTCC 3853), a poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid [P(3HB)] producing organism was subjected to mutagenesis by UV-irradiation and N'-methyl-N'-nitro-N'-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). A sharp decline in survival percentage of treated cells both in UV (1.2% at 20 sec. exposure) and in MNNG ((0.26% at 30 microg/ml) suggest high degree of sensitivity of the isolate to these mutagens. A total of 124...
