Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous mutagenesis in O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase-proficient and -deficient (ada ogt mutants) Escherichia coli was studied in two ways: in bacteria growing in nonselective liquid medium and in bacteria resting on selective agar plates. ATase mutants showed similar spontaneous mutation rates as ATase proficient bacteria during growth phase; an excess of mutants arising in nondividing cells. The...
