The sensitivity of a polA strain to the antibacterial activity of mutagens and carcinogens may be increased by inserting one or both of the following characteristics, a lexA mutation or the R391 bacterial plasmid. The effects of the lexA mutation and the plasmid appear to be additive. The differential sensitivity of a polA lexA (R391) strain could be adapted as a preliminary screening test for mutagens and potential carcinogens.
通过插入以下一种或两种特性,即lexA突变或R391细菌质粒,polA菌株对诱变剂和致癌物抗菌活性的敏感性可能会增加。lexA突变和质粒的作用似乎是累加的。polA lexA(R391)菌株的差异敏感性可作为诱变剂和潜在致癌物的初步筛选试验。
