The Effect of Colchicine on the Antibiotic Potency of Streptomyces aureofaciens
Abstract
In 1937 Blakeslee and Avery described methods for inducing chromosome doubling in plants by the use of colchicine and its effects on the growth of plants. Nebel and Ruttle in 1938 showed that colchicine inhibits the formation of the mitotic spindle so that division cannot occur but chromosome reduplication does take place.
