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 potential streptomycin resistant mutants which develop. This decrease in mutant numbers is known to occur without a...
