Mutagenicity testing of ethylene oxide in Escherichia coli strains with different repair capacities

OSTI ID:5340883

Mutagenicity of ethylene oxide in Escherichia coli B strains with different repair capacities was studied. Deficiencies in excision repair (uvrA, polA) led to a considerable increase in mutation frequency compared with that in the wild-type strain and in strains deficient in error-prone repair (recA, lexA).
