Abstract excerpt
A novel forward mutation assay has been developed in Salmonella typhimurium based on resistance to 5-fluorouracil (FU). The mutational target in the FU assay was determined to be the uracil phosphoribosyl transferase (upp) gene. To validate the upp gene as a suitable target for monitoring a variety of induced mutations, the mutational specificity was determined for five mechanistically different mutagens. The...
