A differential killing assay using Escherichia coli WP2 (wild type) and WP67 (uvrA, polA) was combined with impedence microbiology to produce a rapid screening method for direct-acting mutagenic compounds. The assay showed that mitomycin C, N-nitroso guanidine, potassium dichromate, sodium azide and acridine orange were direct-acting mutagens. With this method results can be obtained within hours, as compared with two days for the standard Salmonella/microsome test.
采用大肠杆菌WP2(野生型)和WP67(uvrA、polA)进行的差异杀伤试验与阻抗微生物学相结合,产生了一种用于直接作用诱变化合物的快速筛选方法。该试验表明,丝裂霉素C、N-亚硝基胍、重铬酸钾、叠氮化钠和吖啶橙是直接作用诱变剂。使用这种方法,数小时内即可获得结果,而标准的沙门氏菌/微粒体试验则需要两天时间。
