Abstract
Ethylene glycol (EG) was found not to alter DNA sequences in Neurospora crassa conidia, though it is believed to be mutagenic in nature. Molecular hybridization revealed 20% increase in whole RNA transcripts in EG-treated conidia, which indicates that while untreated conidia increase RNA synthesis by 2.35fold, treated conidia are inhibited and undergo only a 1.2fold increase. Thus there is an inhibition in potential RNA synthesis, though some RNA synthesis goes on in presence of ethylene glycol.
