Abstract excerpt
Strain IC203, deficient in OxyR, and its oxyR(+) parent WP2 uvrA/pKM101 (denoted IC188) are the basis of a new bacterial reversion assay, the WP2 Mutoxitest, which has been used in the evaluation of 80 chemicals for oxidative mutagenicity. The following 31 oxidative mutagens were recognized by their greater mutagenic response in IC203 than in IC188: (1) peroxides: hydrogen peroxide (HP), t-butyl hydroperoxide...
