Abstract excerpt
The mutagenic effects of formaldehyde (FA) have been compared in DNA repair-proficient (heterokaryon 12) and DNA repair-deficient (heterokaryon 59) two-component heterokaryons of Neurospora crassa. The data from forward-mutation experiments were used to compare the spectra of FA-induced specific-locus mutations at two closely linked loci in the adenine-3 (ad-3) region and on the FA-induced inactivation of...
