title: [Induction of mutations in Streptomyces antibioticus].
abstract: Mutagenic action of UV-light, nitrosoguanidine and nitrosomethylbiuret was studied in Streptomyces antibioticus VNIIA 1607. Nitrosomethylbiuret appeared to be most effective inducer of auxotrophic mutations (mutation frequency reached 15%). By means of hybridological analysis, it was shown that heterokaryons predominated in the progeny of mixed cultures of multiply marked strains. The test for functional allelism using heterokaryons permitted us to divide 93 independently obtained mutations into 28 complementation groups.
