Salmonella typhimurium as a test system for detecting the mutagenic activity of environmental pollutants. I. The mutagenic action of heavy metal salts in in vivo and in vitro systems without metabolic activation

The work presents the data on mutagenic effects of heavy metal salts (Zn and Cd) on Salmonella typhimurium test strains using mutagenicity test in vitro without metabolic activation and host-mediated assay. The techniques used enabled to determine also the types of mutations arising from the exposur...

Summary:The work presents the data on mutagenic effects of heavy metal salts (Zn and Cd) on Salmonella typhimurium test strains using mutagenicity test in vitro without metabolic activation and host-mediated assay. The techniques used enabled to determine also the types of mutations arising from the exposure to ZnCl2 and CdCl2.
