Convenient method for detecting 14CO2 in multiple samples: application to rapid screening for mutants

H Tabor et al. J Bacteriol. 1976 Oct.

Abstract

A procedure is presented for the rapid screening of bacterial colonies to detect mutants unable to produce 14CO2 from a labeled precursor. The method is especially useful for mass screening for mutants that cannot be easily detected by their phenotypic characteristics.
