Abstract excerpt

In Aspergillus several types of test systems have been developed for detection of chemicals which induce aneuploidy and/or malsegregation of chromosomes. Results from 23 papers were reviewed in which numerical data for 42 chemicals had been reported. The test systems fall into two groups. One gro...
