Abstract excerpt
Two classes of tributyltin (TBT) resistant, spontaneous mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 were isolated, using a cytochrome containing (W 1485) and a cytochrome deficient ( SASX76 ) strain. In contrast to the cytochrome sufficient strain, the cytochrome deficient strain was found to be fifty times more sensitive to TBT. The class I mutants, isolated from strain W 1485, also showed cross-resistance to triphenyltin...
