Abstract excerpt
Procedures have been developed which enable the study of antimutagenic specificity of certain antimutagenic chemicals against chemical mutagens/carcinogens. Modifications of the Ames Salmonella assay, the Bacillis subtilis rec assay of Kada and co-workers, and the Luria-Delbrück fluctuation test, along with procedures we have developed utilizing E. coli K12 strain ND160 developed by Dworkin, all are employed in...
