Abstract
The increased mutation rate in cultures of Staphylococcus aureus, when grown in irradiated broth, can be eliminated by catalase. The evolution of O2 from irradiated broth treated with catalase was measured in the Warburg respirometer. A catalase inhibitor such as azide will increase the spontaneous mutation rate.Keywords
