Acridine yellow can be used to treat Escherichia coli containing sex factor F (called F+ bacteria). Sex factor F is a circular DNA molecule that can proliferate independently in E. coli. Treating Escherichia coli with a certain concentration of acridine yellow, so that acridine yellow does not hinder the proliferation of Escherichia coli, but also selectively hinders the replication of factor F. The F+ bacteria cultured in this way are eventually transformed into F- bacteria.
Acridine yellow can also be used for mutagenesis of yeast to produce small colonies. Small colony yeast lacks cytochrome a and b and cytochrome C oxidase, so under aeration conditions, these “small colonies” cells grow slower than normal cells and become small colonies. The small colonies are very stable and cannot revert to the normal large colonies. Small colonies can be obtained by chemical mutagenesis. Under aeration conditions, as long as the normal yeast is grown in a dilute solution of acridine yellow, the yeasts that grow out are all small colonies, and the mutation rate is 100%.
