Non-random acquisition of ethionine resistance by Chinese hamster fibroblasts. Appendix: acquisition of thermoresistance.
When cells from a single culture are physically separated into cultures exposed and unexposed to the drug, respectively, the cells in the unexposed culture acquire drug resistance at a rate that is much higher than that predicted by Poisson's law. The results are in conflict with the spontaneous mutation hypothesis of Luria and Delbrück. Appendix: cells grown at 37 degrees C acquire temperature resistance when their close relatives are exposed to a high temperature in separate cultures.
