ACRIFLAVINE MODIFICATION OF NUCLEIC ACID FORMATION, MUTATION INDUCTION AND SURVIVAL IN ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT EXPOSED BACTERIA
Journal Article
·
· Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (U.S.)
The effects of acriflavin, caffeine, and certain basic dyes on RNA, DNA and protein synthesis, survival, and mutationinduction with uv-exposed bacteria are compared. It is established that the agents exert some action on uv-exposed cells which results in increased mutation frequency response and lethality, as well as blockage of RNA, DNA, and protein synthesis. Acriflavine effects on macromolecular synthesis, mutation induction, and lethality are described. (auth)
