Stimulation of Cell Division by Croton Oil in Blue-Green Bacteria

Lonnie O'Neal Ingram 1, W D Fisher 1
PMCID: PMC251849  PMID: 4196260

Abstract

The potent tumor-promoting agent croton oil, which has been shown previously to be strongly mitogenic in mammalian cells, stimulates cell division in snake mutants of the blue-green bacterium Agmenellum quadruplicatum.
