Tobacco mosaic virus-infectious nucleic acid causes a color shift when combined with acridine orange, methylene blue, and safranine. A high concentration of acridine orange inactivates infectious nucleic acid even in darkness, while a mixture of nucleic acid with a low concentration of the dye must be exposed to visible light prior to inoculation for inactivation to occur.
烟草花叶病毒感染性核酸与吖啶橙、亚甲蓝和番红结合时会引起颜色变化。即使在黑暗中,高浓度的吖啶橙也会使感染性核酸失活,而核酸与低浓度染料的混合物在接种前必须暴露于可见光下才能发生失活。
