Classical Bacterial Mutagenesis Quiz

Wild-type strains of bacteria can be improved using classical mutagenesis methods

Examples of physical mutagens include X-rays and UV rays

Chemical methods for mutagenesis include the use of ethidium bromide and nitrous acid

Classical mutagenesis methods using chemical or physical agents called mutagens. These methods require different screening systems to detect hyper- producer strain. Examples of mutagens include:  Physical (e.g. X-rays and ______)

Chemical methods (e.g. ethidium bromide and ______)

A number of techniques/methods are used for improving the wild-type strains of bacteria: (1) Classical mutagenesis methods using ______ or physical agents called mutagens.
