Frequencies of Mu-1-induced mutants of Escherichia coli have been compared under two different experimental conditions: cells in exponential growth and the same cells treated with nalidixic acid. The average of values obtained from the nalidixic acid-treated culture is 3 times higher than that obtained from the control. Individual ratios of the frequency of mutants in the two cultures yield decreasing values from 6 to 1, starting from the point of origin of DNA replication to the termini of DNA replication. These results are compatible with the idea that Mu-1 integrates at the replication fork.
已在两种不同实验条件下比较了Mu - 1诱导的大肠杆菌突变体的频率:处于指数生长期的细胞和用萘啶酸处理的相同细胞。从萘啶酸处理的培养物中获得的值的平均值比从对照中获得的值高3倍。两种培养物中突变体频率的个体比率从DNA复制起点到DNA复制终点产生从6到1的递减值。这些结果与Mu - 1在复制叉处整合的观点一致。
