Abstract excerpt

Procarbazine (Natulan) was tested for its mutagenic potency and specificity in the ad-3 forward-mutation test in heterokaryon 12 (H-12) of Neurospora crassa. In these experiments, procarbazine was a weak mutagen when present in growing cultures but nonmutagenic when conidial suspensions (nongrowi...
