Rapid Detection of Mutagens by Induction of Luciferase-Bearing Prophage in Escherichia coli

Mutagenicity in bacteria is highly correlated with carcinogenicity in humans, and many industrial wastes and manufacturing sites contain mutagenic components. This has stimulated interest in rapid screening assays for genotoxic agents. We describe a rapid and sensitive bacterial test for detecting D...
