Abstract excerpt

4CMB, 4HMB and BC were assayed for mutagenic activity using the 'microtitre' bacterial fluctuation test without metabolic activation. 4CMB was positive in strains of Salmonella typhimurium detecting both base-substitution and frameshift mutation. BC was weakly positive only in the strain which de...
