Abstract excerpt
We investigated the photomutagenicity of thiabendazole (TBZ), a postharvest fungicide commonly used on imported citrus fruits. Using UVA light (320-400 nm), we irradiated bacterial cultures with or without TBZ in a 24-well multiplate. UVA-irradiation without TBZ was not mutagenic to the tester strains, nor was unirradiated TBZ. TBZ was strongly photomutagenic in Escherichia coli WP2uvrA and WP2uvrA/pKM101...
