The acridine-like compound ICR-191 is an effective mutagenic agent in Azotobacter vinelandii. Selectable mutants, such as those resistant to chlorate, can be isolated without post-mutagenic segregation. Non selectable mutants, such as those unable to metabolize different sugars, can be easily isolated after twelve generations of post-mutagenic segregation.
