Prophage Induction in Escherichia coli (Lambda) by N-Nitrosamines

Jennifer A. Thomson1 and D. R. Woods

Department of Microbiology, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa

ABSTRACT

Carcinogenic N-nitrosamines were tested for their ability to induce {lambda} in a lysogenic strain of Escherichia coli K-12 (58-161 F+). Dimethylnitrosamine, di-n-propylnitrosamine, methyl-n-propylnitrosamine, and N-nitrosopiperidine were shown to be inducers of prophage.
