Abstract excerpt

To investigate the impact of SOS induction on the distribution of spontaneous mutation, 111 recA441-mediated mutations were characterized at the DNA sequence level in the lacI gene of Escherichia coli. A 2.6-fold enhancement in lacI- mutation frequency was observed after induction of the SOS syst...
