Abstract excerpt

Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), a metabolic hydroxylation product of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), and the parent compound were comparatively assayed for DNA-damaging potency and genotoxicity in vivo in Drosophila melanogaster using, respectively, the mei-9a mei-41D5 DNA repair test and the mwh/flr3 wing spot test....
