J. Lederberg and E. Lederberg (1952) devised this procedure to demonstrate the spontaneous nature of mutations. This method is used for detection of biochemical mutants, for the classification of fermentation reactions and for the determination of the spectra of antibiotic sensitivity. Phage sensitive strain of E.coli on nutrient agar plate is incubated until each cell […]
