Abstract
Tobacco mosaic virus-infectious nucleic acid causes a color shift when combined with acridine orange, methylene blue, and safranine. A high concentration of acridine orange inactivates infectious nucleic acid even in darkness, while a mixture of nucleic acid with a low concentration of the dye must be exposed to visible light prior to inoculation for inactivation to occur.Entities:
