Abstract excerpt

The effects of halogen light irradiation on reversion of argE3-->Arg+ in E. coli K12 strain AB1157 and its mfd- mutant, and on mutation frequency decline (MFD) after transiently incubating irradiated bacteria under non-growing conditions were studied. The induction of mutations, the mutational sp...
