title: Antimutagenic effects of spermine and guanosine in continuous cultures of Escherichia coli mutator strain mutH.
abstract: In E. coli strain RH531 containing mutator gene mutH-, whose mechanism of enhanced mutability depends upon DNA replication, spermine and guanosine reduce the rates of mutation to T5R and to increased fitness.
