Title: Combined Effect of Physical and Chemical Mutagens on Mutation Frequency in Aspergillus Mdulans
Abstract: Combination treatments of EMS and gamma-rays have been shown to produce a synergistic effect on mutation frequency (methionine suppressors); the extent of synergism is dependent upon the order of application of the mutagens. Gamma irradiation followed by different doses of EMS showed synergistic effect of a higher magnitude at all the doses, whereas treatments with EMS prior to gamma-ray exposure produced the synergistic effect of a smaller order which declined at higher doses.
