- Abstract
IN 1932 Murase1 in our laboratory isolated a peculiar mutant strain from aged broth cultures of Escherichia coli incubated at 37° C. This mutant had a characteristic colonial morphology on agar plates containing lactose, and because of its apparent resemblance to Massini's classical Bacterium coli mutabile2 was called 'mutabile-type' by him. Since then, mutant strains having similar properties have been isolated from aged broth cultures of many strains of E. coli, Shigella, Salmonella and 'Paracolon' groups, and many investigations on this particular type of mutation have been carried out in our laboratory. The results obtained may be summarized as follows3,4.
