Anti-page Mu activity and mutagenicity of extra cellular peptides of candida tropicalis
Abstract
Genetic activity of peptides isolated rom cell-free culture filterate of dimorphic yeast candida tropicalis (strain CBS94) was investigated in salmonella/ microsome revesion assay . the peptides induced either base-pair substitutions or frame-shift mutagenesis and one of this promoted both kind of mutations. A peptide also inhibited Mu induced lysis of Escherichia coli, indicating that the peptide could interfere with the growth of a bacterial
