Abstract excerpt
The number of UV-induced mutations to streptomycin resistance in Escherichia coli B/r cells depends on the post-irradiation incubation medium. When cells are incubated on phosphate buffer agar (PBA) as opposed to brain heart infusion agar (BHI), there is an irreversible loss in the number of pote...
