Abstract:A total of 272 mutants (161 from sunlight exposed and 111 from unexposed conidia) resistant to the chemicals Topas, 8-azaguanine or Chloral hydrate were Isolated in the fungus Alternaria alternata. Initially, the exposure periods to sunlight and the minimal inhibitory concentrations for the chemicals were determined. The exposure periods were 20, 40, 60 and 90 minutes and the minimal inhibitory concentrations were 150 µg/ml for Topas, 3.5 µg/ml for 8-azaguanine and 4.5 mM for Chloral hydrate. The frequency of … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
