Incorporation of 8-azaguanine and guanine by Cladosporium resinae. 1968

R L Smith, and J C Harrill

With (14)C-tagged 8-azaguanine and guanine in a Bushnell-Haas medium with glucose as a carbon source, the rate of incorporation of the two bases was determined in Cladosporium resinae. There was a marked preference for the incorporation of 8-azaguanine over guanine.
