Abstract excerpt

Ammonium metavanadate was studied for its ability to induce mitotic gene conversion and reverse point mutation in the D7 strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Metavanadate increased the convertant and revertant frequencies; the highest activity was observed without metabolic activation. This indica...
