Abstract Reports of a large number of experiments on the mutagenic action of various chemicals have been published- in recent years. The ultimate goal of such work has been to find some new tool of research that would aid to the determination of the exact chemical nature of the gene or an elucidation of its action. However, it has been found that mutagenicity is not a specific property of anyone group of chemicals. Work by Witkin (4), Demerec, Wallace, and Witkin (2), and Demerec, Bertani, and Flint (1) has demonstrated that a wide variety of compounds with different properties may be mutagenic for microorganisms. Herskowitz (3) has summarized the mutagenic effects of a large number of chemicals on Drosophila.
