The effect of heat-shock treatment (42 degrees C for 15 min) on the ability of four mutagens and carcinogens to induce hereditary bleaching in Euglena gracilis cells was investigated. All four mutagens (treatment time: 1-24 h) tested after heat shock increased the frequency of bleached mutants of Euglena gracilis.
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.
