Abstract excerpt
Mutation spectra analysis can provide important information about the types of genotoxic compounds that can be present in environmental samples. In this study, we used the TA7000 base-specific Salmonella typhimurium tester strains to characterize water samples from two drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) in São Paulo, Brazil. Because of the small sample sizes of these environmental samples, the use of the...
