Chain-termination suppressors which are almost certainly amber suppressors have been isolated in Salmonella anatum by a technique involving the use of amber mutants of bacteriophage 01. The same technique could be used in any species of Salmonella (and many strains of Arizona) and analogous techniques are suggested for use in other genera of bacteria and in higher plants.
