Stationary phase mutagenesis in B. subtilis: a paradigm to study genetic diversity programs in cells under stress.

Abstract excerpt

One of the experimental platforms to study programs increasing genetic diversity in cells under stressful or nondividing conditions is adaptive mutagenesis, also called stationary phase mutagenesis or stress-induced mutagenesis. In some model systems, there is evidence that mutagenesis occurs in genes that are actively transcribed. Some of those genes may be actively transcribed as a result of environmental...
