Abstract excerpt
Incorporation of the radioactive label from pyrimidines into RNA and DNA of an Aspergillus nidulans pyrimidine-dependent mutant was studied. The label from [14C2]uridine was incorporated at the highest rate into both fractions of nucleic acids from A. nidulans of the wild type and pyr-mutant. The content of the label in the DNA of the pyr-mutant was several times higher than that in the wild type DNA. Therefore,...
