Publisher Summary This chapter demonstrates the utility of the yeast bioassay for the detection and isolation of DNA-damaging agents in plant and marine extracts. The assay has many advantages: it is relatively easy to set up and maintain and it is economical to run because no expensive reagents or radioisotopes are required. Because it is a mechanism-based assay, those compounds isolated through its use have a mechanism of action that is at least partially understood, and thus can proceed more… CONTINUE READING
