[Induced and spontaneous mutagenesis in phage T4 in Escherichia coli strains with mutant RNA polymerase]. 1975

E S Piruzian, and S I Alikhanian, and N G Iaroslavtseva

Study was made of the frequency of induced and spontaneous mutations in phage T4 in RNA polymerase Escherichia coli strains. It has been shown that the rate of induced mutagenesis by base analogues increases in two rUV-mutants of phage T4 carrying mutations of the transition type, unlike the frameshift mutant which does not revert under these conditions. An increase in the level of spontaneous mutations in the phage is also found when RNA polymerase mutations are introduced into the system. The influence of mutant RNA polymerase on the mutation process is specific as no alteration of the recombination process in phage T4 has been found in E. coli strains with mutant RNA polymerase.

D001973 Bromodeoxyuridine A nucleoside that substitutes for thymidine in DNA and thus acts as an antimetabolite. It causes breaks in chromosomes and has been proposed as an antiviral and antineoplastic agent. It has been given orphan drug status for use in the treatment of primary brain tumors.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
