Lethal and mutagenic actions of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine potentiated by oxidized glutathione, a seemingly harmless substance in the cellular environment.

Both the lethal and the mutagenic actions of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) on cells of Streptococcus pneumoniae were greatly potentiated by a component of yeast extract added to the cellular environment. This component was found to be an oxidation product of glutathione, glutathio...
