Abstract excerpt
We describe the phenomenon of a transient state of R124I restriction deficiency after long-term storage of the E. coli[pCP1005] strain at 4 degrees C, or after growth of the culture in synthetic M9 medium with the nonmutagenic solvent dimethyl sulfoxide. The unusual high reversion from the R+ 124 to the R- 124 phenotype was observed only in E. coli strain transformed with the high-copy number plasmid pCP1005...
