Abstract excerpt
Transient exposure of lysogenic Escherichia coli cells to small alcohols stimulated the frequency of mutations suppressing the lethal loss of replication control from a prophage fragment of bacteriophage lambda. The stimulation in mutation frequency paralleled the effect of mutagenic agents, and in this sense the alcohols behaved as mutagens. 10-min treatments above distinct threshold concentrations at 23%, 18%,...
