On alternatives to selection-induced mutation in the Bgl operon of Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt
Selection-induced mutations are nonrandom mutations that occur as specific and direct responses to environmental challenge. Examples of selection-induced mutations have been reported both in bacteria and in yeast. I previously showed (Hall 1988) that excisions of the mobile genetic element IS150 from within bglF are selection induced and argued that they occurred because they were potentially advantageous under...
