A simple technique for the identification of chain termination suppressor mutants in species ofSalmonella

Abstract

SUMMARYChain-termination suppressors which are almost certainly amber suppressors have been isolated inSalmonella anatumby a technique involving the use of amber mutants of bacteriophage 01. The same technique could be used in any species ofSalmonella(and many strains of Arizona) and analogous techniques are suggested for use in other genera of bacteria and in higher plants.
