title: [Manifestation of instability in the leucine-dependent Bacillus subtilis auxotroph induced by herring DNA].
abstract: Unstable leucine-depending Bacillus subtilis auxotroph previously induced by the herring DNA was studied. Instability was manifested as revertability in the leucine-free medium. Average frequency of revertants amounted to 50% of the number of viable cells. A clone analysis has shown that most of such colonies are mosaics consisting of leucine-independent and leucine-sensitive cells. Unstable mutation was cotransformed with leuA marker. Heating followed by material storage in demineralized water stimulated transposition of unstable mutation under study to the tryptophan operon region.
