Abstract

The influence of gamma-radiation pre-exposure on ethylene oxide, ethyl methanesulfonate and methyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis in Escherichia coli WU36-10 was studied. Pretreatment with gamma-radiation resulted, in the case of subsequent treatment with ethylene oxide and ethyl methanesulfonate, in a decrease of the frequency of leu+ revertants, and in the case of subsequent treatment with methyl methanesulfonate, in an increase of this mutation frequency.
