Anaerobically Grown Escherichia coli Has an Enhanced Mutation Rate and Distinct Mutational Spectra.
Oxidative stress is a major cause of mutation but little is known about how growth in the absence of oxygen impacts the rate and spectrum of mutations. We employed long-term mutation accumulation experiments to directly measure the rates and spectra of spontaneous mutation events in Escherichia coli...
