Genotoxic activity of different chromium compounds in larval cells of Drosophila melanogaster, as measured in the wing spot test.

Environmental and molecular mutagenesis - 1 Jan 1999

Abstract excerpt

Two chromium(VI) compounds (potassium chromate and potassium dichromate) and one chromium(III) compound, chromium chloride, were evaluated for genotoxic effects in the wing spot test of Drosophila melanogaster following standard procedures. This assay detects both somatic recombination and mutational events. The genotoxic effects were determined from the appearance of wing spots in flies transheterozygous for the...
