Abstract excerpt

The test compounds 4CMB, 4HMB and BC were assayed for their genotoxicity using stationary phase cultures of 5 yeast strains which differ in their mutagen sensitivity. It was found that 4HMB produced no differences in survival between the 5 strains whereas 4CMB and BC caused more lethality in the...
