Abstract excerpt
No evidence was found for production during incubation in chloramphenicol of a signal capable of inducing a rec-lex function (lysogenic induction) when protein synthesis was restored. The majority of UV-induced mutations to streptomycin resistance require lesions in the DNA and cannot be attributed to untargeted mutator activity. Therefore the loss of photoreversibility of these mutations occurring in the absence...
