Abstract excerpt

The objective of the present investigation was to determine the effects on genetic recombination and mutation in Escherichia coli of either endogenous increases in oxygen radicals resulting from catalase deficiencies, or exogenous increases resulting from H2O2 treatment. Using the classical parad...
