Abstract excerpt
S-Methyl methanethiosulfonate (MMTS) and diphenyl disulfide (DPDS) are temporary enzyme-sulfhydryl blocking agents. They are naturally occurring phytoalexin-like and synthetic substances known to be very potent bio-antimutagens in Escherichia coli B/r WP2. In the present paper, the suppressing effects of MMTS on mitomycin C (MMC)-induced mutant wing spots in the somatic mutation and recombination test (SMART) of...
