The raw extracts of a series of microorganisms were screened for the presence of acetyl-coenzyme A: arylamine N-acetyltransferase (AAAT) using a radioactive assay with 3H-acetyl-coenzyme A and aniline as substrates. Enzyme activities were primarily detected in the soluble fractions of Bacillus and N
## Abstract __N__βacetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) and 2 (NAT2) enzymes catalyzing both deactivation (__N__βacetylation) and activation (__O__βacetylation) of arylamine carcinogens such as 4βaminobiphenyl (ABP) were investigated in a Syrian hamster model congenic at the __NAT__2 locus. NAT2 catalytic act
