"Although Salmonella mutants lacking 4-epimerase lose all the galactose of their polysaccharides, their generation time and general viability in galactose-free nutrient media are unaffected (Fukasawa and Nikaido, 1959). The galactose-free creatures are even protected from attack by the phage P-22 (Fukasawa and Nikaido, 1960), because they have lost the superficial phage receptor sites whose specificity depends on galactose and the deoxyhexoses which nest on galactose."

  18. Mutagenesis in phages FX174 and T4 and properties of the genetic material. Tessman, I. (1959). Virology 9:375-385. In vitro treatment of phages X174 and T4 with nitrous acid produces mutants. Mutants of X174 arise in pure clones, whereas most T4 mutants arise in mixed clones, suggesting that there is only one copy of genetic information in X174 and at least two copies in T4. The alteration of one of the T4 copies yields a type of heterozygote. The results is consistent with the picture that the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of T4 is in the Watson-Crick double-stranded configuration, both strands carrying the same information, whereas the DNA of X174 is single-stranded. ¶ The production of mutants in X174 follows a single-hit kinetics, showing that the alteration of a single nucleotide is sufficient to produce a mutant. The process of nitrous acid mutagenesis in DNA is discussed. [TOP OF PAGE]
