Use of Candida albicans for testing mutagenic and phototoxic substances
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Biotechnology and Biochemistry (IOSR-JBB - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Usefulness of candida albicans for rapid screening of mutagenic agents and sun screeners have been explored by using UV induction. The study findings clearly show that Candida albicans will serve as reliable tool for the above study which we have validated and confirmed using the battery of sunscreeners such as avobenzone, octylmethoxycinnamate, benzophenone. We have further counter checked the study model using the extracts of Psoraleacorylifolia. Findings are presented in the paper.
