Information5-Fluoroorotic acid (5-FOA, 5-Fluoroorotate, NSC 31712) is a selective agent in yeast molecular genetics. 5-Fluoroorotic acid possesses a well-expressed anticandidal effect close to that of 5-fluorocytosine, as well as moderate antidermatophytal effects.In vitro5-FOA is an extremely useful reagent for the selection of Ura- cells amid a population of Ura+ cells. The selection is effective in transformation and recombination studies where loss of URA3+ is desired. A new plasmid shuffling procedure based on the 5-FOAR selection permits the recovery of conditional lethal mutations in cloned genes that encode vital functions.Cell Research(from reference)Concentrations：1 mg/ml, 500 μg/ml.
