Abstract excerpt

Triazine chloro derivatives: atrazine, simazine manifest no mutagenic and recombinogenic properties in yeasts; triazine methylthio derivatives: prometryne, semeron (desmetryne) generate both genetic events with low concentrations of 0.5 and 5 mg/l. It is found that prometryne is more able to gene...
