Abstract
Ozone was tested for its effect upon induction of lambda prophage in two different strains of Escherichia coli K-12. Based on the induction index and when compared to ultraviolet light, ozone appeared to be a weak, if any at all, inducer of the lytic cycle in E. coli. This is in agreement with other studies which have suggested that this agent is a weak inducer of the SOS functions.Key words: SOS functions, ultraviolet light, mutagen, ozone.
