Abstract excerpt
To determine the mutation spectrum of glyoxal, which is produced from DNA by oxygen free-radicals, we analyzed the chromosomal lacI gene of mutants induced by treatment of a wild-type Escherichia coli strain with glyoxal. The cell death and the mutation frequency increased according to the concentration of glyoxal added to the culture medium. The majority of the spontaneous mutations (82%) and that of the...
