Abstract excerpt

Mutagenic activity of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (2,4,6-TNT) and one of its derivatives, 2,4-diamino-6-nitrotoluene (2,4-DA-6-NT) was studied in the Ames test using the Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA98, TA100, TA100NR (deficient in classical nitroreductases), and TA100/1, 8DNP (deficient in...
