Abstract excerpt
Mutations induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) were strongly enhanced in the presence of o-vanillin in E. coli B. The enhancement was also observed in uvrA, umuC, recA, polA, or alkB mutants. This effect was lower in an alkA mutant, but was restored in an alkA umuC double mutant...
