Abstract excerpt

Photobiological activities of pinacyanol chloride (PC), which is known as a non-intercalating dye, were investigated. Irradiation of PC-sensitized yeast cells in the dark brought about marked decrease of survival and induction of "petites" which are respiration-deficient mutants caused by partial...
