title: [Genetic effects of the gaseous phase of cigarette smoke on Saccharomyces cerevisiae].
abstract: The gaseous phase of cigarette smoke is active on Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A toxic effect and several genetic alterations were observed. Mitotic segregants are induced and the cytoplasmic "petite" mutation is selected and induced. These effects vary according to the growth phase of the culture and to the brand of cigarettes tested. Stationary phase cells are more resistant than exponentially growing ones.
