Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal rearrangements, uniformly represented by very large deletions, were stimulated upon transiently exposing Escherichia coli cells with a defective lambda prophage to about 18% (v/v) ethanol. It was shown that the ethanol treatment induced deletion formation rather than enriching for ethanol-tolerant cells. The deletions in 435 mutants were mapped to 26 groups. Ethanol treatment changed the spectrum of...
