N个实验中,嘧啶衍生物|5.根据Dunn和Smith的方法,将溴尿嘧啶掺入T2 r噬菌体的脱氧核糖核酸中,观察到在子代噬菌体中出现了大量的各种噬斑型突变体,如图1所示。观察到5-溴尿嘧啶的这种明显的强诱变作用,使我们对产生噬菌体突变体所依赖的条件进行了研究。在一个典型的实验中,大肠杆菌菌株B的培养物在37 ℃下通气生长.在补充有50 gm./ ml. 5.布仑尿嘧啶,传代4代至2 μ 108个细胞/ml的密度。(完全培养基是葡萄糖盐培养基吗?补充l mgm./ ml.磺胺,1毫克/ ml.不含维生素的酪蛋白水解物,25 pgm./ ml.黄嘌呤和尿嘧啶等于所添加的任何5-溴尿嘧啶的5.5%。我们发现,当商业5-溴尿嘧啶,
N experiments in which the pyrimidine derivative| 5. bromouracil was incorporated into the deoxyribonucleic acid of T2r" bacteriophage, according to the method of Dunn and Smith", it was observed that, a large number of a variety of plaque-type mutants appeared among the progeny phages, as illustrated in Fig. 1. The observation of this appar-ently powerful mutagenic effect of 5-bromouracil led us to an investigation of the conditions upon which the production of phage mutant depends. In a typical experiment, a culture of Escherichia, coli, strain B, was grown with aeration at 37 C. in complete medium supplemented with 50 gm./ml. 5. bronnouracil, for four generations to a density of 2 y 108 cells/ml.(Complete medium is a glucosesalts medium? supplemented with l mgm./ml. sulphanilamide, 1 mgm./ml. vitamin-free casein hydrolysate, 25 pgm./ml. xanthine, and uracil equal 5 5 per cent of any 5-bromouracil added. We had found that when commercial 5-bromouracil, which
