title: [Mutagenic effect of photoactivated methoxylated derivatives of 2-nitronaphtho (2.1-b) furan on the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae].
abstract: 2-nitro 7-methoxy naphtho [2,1-b] furan (R 7000) and 2-nitro 8-methoxy naphtho [2,1-b] furan, which are highly mutagenic on the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium have little activity on the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Nevertheless, irradiation at 365 nm elicits a weak but significant increase of their mutagenic activity on this yeast.
