Abstract excerpt
We ascertained that transient exposure to ethanol, above 18%, was deletionogenic to an Escherichia coli strain with a fragment (12.5 kb) of bacteriophage lambda integrated within the chromosome. The lambda attL B.P' through P fragment provided a forward selection for mutants, and a target for mut...
