Abstract excerpt

The existence of damaged-site independent mutagenesis is confirmed here by scoring the appearance of clear-plaque (c-) or virulent (vir) forward mutations on intact (non-irradiated) phage lambda grown on UV-irradiated E. coli K12 hosts. The mutation frequency was measured as a function of the inc...
