| Abstract | For efficient detection and evaluation of environmental chemical mutagens, the assay procedures must be simple and inexpensive. By the use of microorganisms as the repair test, chemicals that damage DNA may be selected very quickly. These DNA-damaging chemicals are likely to be mutagenic and carcinogenic, as well as effectors of chromosome aberrations. Recent developments in techniques and mutagen screening by the rec-assay system using recombination-proficient and -deficient strains of Bacillus subtilis are reviewed in this chapter. |
