In a particular genetic system, selection stimulates reversion of alacmutation and causes genome-wide mutagenesis (adaptive mutation). Selection allows rare plated cells with a duplication of the leakylacallele to initiate clones within which furtherlacamplification improves growth rate. Growth and amplification add mutational targets to each clone and thereby increase the likelihood of reversion. We suggest that general mutagenesis occurs only in clones whoselacamplification includes the nearbydinB+gene (for error-prone DNA polymerase IV). Thus mutagenesis is not a programmed response to stress but a side effect of amplification in a few clones; it is not central to the effect of selection on reversion.
