The inactivation of homozygous yeast strains of different ploidy by thiopyronine in presence and in absence of visible light and the effeciency of this dye upon nucleic acids and nucleic acid components was investigated. Some experiments of the mutation activity of thiopyronine on Sac charomyces are described. The inactivation of yeast in presence of visible light is not dependent on ploidy; in absence of visible light there is a remarkable increase of inactivation with increasing of ploidy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
