摘要：

Mutator cells that lack the mismatch repair system (MMR-) occur at rates of 10(-5) or less in laboratory populations started from wild-type cells. We show that after selection for recombinants in an interspecies mating between Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Escherichia coli, the percentage of MMR- cells rises to several percent of the recombinant population, and after a second successive mating and selection, greater than 95% of the recombinants are MMR-. Coupling a single cross and selection,vith either mutagenesis or selection for spontaneous mutants also results in a dramatic increase in MMR- cells. We discuss how horizontal transfer can result in mutator strains during adaptive evolution.
