Abstract

SUMMARY The exposure of tryptophan-requiring Escherichia coli b/r wp2 to u.v.- and γ-irradiation (in either order) results in more revertants than would be expected if the two treatments were independent. The excess mutants (‘interaction mutants’) were produced in increasing number by increasing dos...
