Analysis of interactions between mutagens, II. Ethyl methanesulfonate and ultraviolet light in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Mutation research - 1 Oct 1990

Abstract excerpt

The results of this study indicate the existence of a strong interaction between ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and ultraviolet light (UV) for cell killing in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Conversely, mutation and gene conversion frequencies observed for the combined treatment of EMS and UV d...
