Abstract excerpt
Ammonium metavanadate was studied for its ability to induce mitotic gene conversion and reverse point mutation in the D7 strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

This indicated that the S9 hepatic fraction and yeast cells in logarithmic phase (and containing a high level of cytochrome P450)...
