Abstract
ONE of us has demonstrated1–5 with his co-workers that hydroxylamine, nitrous acid, hydrogen peroxide, hypo-nitrous acid and oxime can induce viral nuclear poly-hedrosis in healthy silkworms. Among these, the mutagenic action of the first-mentioned three substances has recently been proved by Freese6, Gierer7 and Wyss8. We have now found that acidified hyponitrite and glucosoxime produce a mutation in a bacteriophage.
