Abstract excerpt
Chemical mutagenesis of the nucleotide-producing strain Corynebacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6872 with N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine followed by an enrichment protocol yielded 46 temperature-sensitive (ts) clones. A rapid assay for the allosterically regulated Mn-ribonucleotide reductase (RRase) was developed with nucleotide-permeable cells of C. ammoniagenes in order to screen for possible defects in DNA...
