Reliable Screening of Dye Phototoxicity by Using a Caenorhabditis elegans Fast Bioassay.
Phototoxicity consists in the capability of certain innocuous molecules to become toxic when subjected to suitable illumination. In order to discover new photoactive drugs or characterize phototoxic pollutants, it would be advantageous to use simple biological tests of phototoxicy. In this work, we...
