Abstract
Accumulation of mutants in glucose-limited chemostats is proportional to growth rate, while in tryptophan-limited chemostats it is independent of growth rate. This behavior, which implies the failure of the error hypothesis, may be explainable on the basis of a unitary hypothesis: the results with glucose may be due to reversion or loss of latent mutants.Entities:
