Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine
-
Escherichia coli
medicine facilitate pharmacological advance, possible application is transfer of FCY1 and FCA1 to mammalian cells naturally lacking enzyme activity, these genes should confer lethal sensitivity to 5-fluorocytosine Saccharomyces cerevisiae
