Abstract
DURING the course of investigations intended to extend previously reported observations1 of increased yields of nucleic-acid-like substances from yeast irradiated with full ultra-violet radiation under conditions resulting in prolonged injury to the yeast cells, certain irregularities in the yields were noted. It now appears that these may be attributed to lack of quantitative yields in the final step of the chemical procedure wherein nucleic acid is precipitated.
