Abstract excerpt

Studies were undertaken to investigate the ability of 4CMB and 4HMB to induce primary DNA damage in bacteria as shown by differential lethality in strains of E. coli proficient and deficient in DNA repair. It has been demonstrated in these laboratories that the assay system used will detect weak...
