Violacein, a purple pigment naturally produced by several types of bacteria (Janthenobacterium lividuma) has shown potential as a targeted cancer treatment. In order to investigate the mechanism by which Violacein induces cancer cell death, Violacein toxicity experiments were conducted using yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as a model for cancer. The toxic effects of Violacein was quantified for two strains of Yeast, BY4741 and RAD2, the first strain being wild type yeast and the second having a knockout mutation in the RAD2 gene which is critical in DNA excision repair, thus modeling the rapid growth that is characteristic of cancer cells. Growth curves were abstracted from measurements of optical density at 600 nm for each strain at varyi...
