Abstract excerpt
Strain D7 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used to measure the induction by bleomycin (BLM) of mitotic recombination at the trp5 locus and point mutations at ilv1 in the presence and absence of acridine compounds. BLM is a potent mutagen and recombinagen in the D7 assay. The acridines vary, some being mutagenic or recombinagenic and others not. Combined treatments were used to distinguish whether a genetically...
