abstract：:Spontaneous Arg- mutants arose at high frequencies in Streptomyces lividans. Exposure to ethidium bromide increased the frequency of arg instability. In Pro+ strains the induced arg mutants were mainly argG, but in the proB mutants, a new mutation, argJ, prevailed which lacked ornithine acetyltransferase activity and ...
