a Total number of colonies (blue + white) counted from all plates in triplicate; b MF, mutation frequency (calculated by white/total × 10-5); c rearranged/total counted, as determined by plasmid DNA that was prepared and digested with BamHI, then subjected to gel electrophoresis to highlight plasmid rearrangements.
