Enriched selection of dominant mutations: histidine operator mutations.
In the course of selection of bacteria with derepressed levels of histidine biosynthetic enzymes, it was found that when mutagen-treated cells were spread on a selective medium without allowing intervening growth to occur, the frequency of operator mutants obtained was dramatically increased. This may be useful as a general enrichment for operator or other dominant mutations.
