description

A fluorescence technique that allows direct measurement of DNA and synchrony levels inSaccharomyces cerevisiae cell cultures is reported. The spectrofluorimetric estimation of DNA with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (AT-dye) does not require prior extraction, is highly stable, and requires small quantities of cells.
