Induced mutagenesis in bacteriophage T4 growing in strains of E. coli with altered RNA-polymerase.
Enhanced reversion frequencies of T4 r mutants in E. coli strains with altered RNA polymerase have been obtained. The results reported have confirmed previous data on the effect of RNA-polymerase on the process of mutagenesis [2]. No such effect has been found in the course of studies of the recombination process.
