Relationship between repair processes and mutation induction in bacteria. [UV radiation; methyl methanesulfonate; N-methyl-N/sup 1/-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine; N-methyl-N-nitrosourea; N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea; ethyl methanesulfanate; N-ethyl-nitrosoguanidine; 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide]
Description:
The main repair and replication-associated processes that can influence the induction of mutations by various mutagens in bacteria are reviewed. These include both constitutive and induced, error-free and error-prone systems. The mutation yield from a treatment with a mutagen can be markedly affected by which of these systems is operating in a given bacterial species or strain. The effect of these systems on mutation induction by ultraviolet light, monofunctional alkylating agents, base analogu…
