Induction of the Respiration-Deficient Mutation in Yeast by Various Synthetic Dyes

SUSUMU NAGAI 1

1 Institute of Polytechnics, Osaka City University, Osaka, Japan

Series of triphenylmethane and xanthene dyes were found to be effective as inducers of respiration-deficient mutation in yeast. The quantitative difference in the mutagenic effect appeared to be in close relationship to the chemical structure of the respective dyes. This survey may provide a useful clue for elucidation of the mechanism of mutagenic induction.
