Contrary to what happens in bacteria, mutations induced by nitrosoguanidine in yeast are not accompanied by an excess of mutations in nearby genes. We have investigated nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis in three regions of the yeast genome: the contiguous DNA segments HIS4A, HIS4B and HIS4C, located on c

Abstract
Survival and mutation induction studies have been explored in two strains of Taphrina maculans Butler with N‐methyl‐N'‐nitro‐N‐nitrosoguanidine. The salmon red strain is more susceptible to the mutagen than the creamy white one. Filamentous and small spored mutants were induced only in the creamy white strain. Pathogenicity tests of wild types and mutants revealed the latter as avirulent.

The skin tumor initiators N-methy-N H -nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) differ in effectiveness when tumor formation is promoted by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Even at high doses, MNNG is less effective, producing fewer benign and malignant tu
