## Abstract A rapid, high‐throughput bacterial mutagenicity test system has been developed (MutaGen test) that detects reversions of inactivating base‐pair substitutions and frameshifts in a TEM‐1 class A β‐lactamase (ampicillinase) gene. To quickly and sensitively detect mutagens, the system utili
## Abstract The β‐alkyl substituted acrolein congeners crotonaldehyde, trans‐2‐pentenal, trans‐2‐hexenal, 2,4‐hexadienal, and trans‐2‐heptenal were clearly mutagenic in a slightly modified preincubation Ames test with __Salmonella typhimurium__ TA100 with and without S9 mix using a three fold bacte
## Abstract A highly sensitive __umu__ test system for the detection of genotoxic activities of a variety of mutagenic nitroarenes has been developed using a new tester strain, __Salmonella typhimurium__ NM3009 having high O‐acetyltransferase (O‐AT) and nitroreductase (NR) activities. The NM3009 wa
