Continuous logarithmic growth of E. coli K12λ in an automatic culture cell resulted in marked increases in the proportion of several mutants. The P1 phage-resistant cells increased 10 to 3000 times, the T2 phage-resistant cells 1 to 1000 times, the neomycin-resistant cells 1 to 10 times, and the virus-producing cells 30 to 70 times. No change occurred in the penicillin-resistant cells. Calculation of the growth curves and direct determination of the mutation rates by the null fraction method showed that the increases in the proportion of mutants were due to increases in the mutation rates.

AbstractWe propose a two-lattice method for direct determination of the recoilless fraction using a single room-temperature transmission Mössbauer measurement. The method is first demonstrated for the case of iron and metallic glass two-foil system and is next generalized for the case of physical mixtures of two powders. We further apply this method to determine the recoilless fraction of hematite and magnetite particles. Finally, we provide direct measurement of the recoilless fraction in nanohematite and nanomagnetite with an average particle size of 19 nm.
