Abstract excerpt
An automated approach to bacterial mutagenicity testing - the spiral Salmonella assay - was developed to simplify testing and to reduce the labor and materials required to generate dose-responsive mutagenicity information. This document provides the reader with an overview of the spiral assay and a discussion of its application for examining the mutagenic potential of pure compounds, complex environmental...
