Popis: Azide-induced mutagenesis was investigated in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli . Azide was highly effective in inducing mutations in uvrB, uvrB recA and uvrB recB mutants of S. typhimurium . The mutagenic effect of azide was also observed in uvrA lexA mutants of E. coli K12 and E. coli B/r. These results suggest that azide-induced mutagenesis is due to mis-replication of DNA.
