Abstract:
:Survivors of nitrosoguanidine-treated cultures of a colicinogenic strain of Salmonella typhimurium were tested for spontaneous production of colicin E1. Of about 1,000 colonies tested, 13 produced no (or very narrow) colicin zones. Four of these isolates proved to be more sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light, X rays, and methyl methane sulfonate than the parent strain and did not show enhanced production of colicin when treated with mitomycin C (which acts as an inducer on wild-type cells). Further studies showed that these isolates were of two classes. Three mutants were extremely sensitive to UV, failed to show spontaneous release of two temperate phages, and were infertile as recipients in transduction or in an Hfr cross although they accepted an F' factor normally. These independently isolated mutants were inferred to be recombination-deficient; one of them had the additional property of increased spontaneous mutability at two loci. The other colicin-nonreleasing isolate was only moderately sensitive to UV, showed enhanced spontaneous release of two temperate phages, and was of approximately normal fertility as a recipient in transduction or conjugation.
