Abstract
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.Keywords
