Genotoxicity studies of Prince Edward Island sediments using a modified SOS chromotest / by Hao Xu, B.J. Dutka and K.K. Kwan.En13-5/86-83E-PDF

"Noting that the inducibility of samples tested with the SOS Chromotest increased with increasing colour development time, a slightly modified Chromotest procedure was developed and applied to six sediment samples from Prince Edward Island. The samples tested by this newly developed short-term genotoxicity test showed weak inducibility expressed by the SOSIP---SOS Inducing Potency. Five of the six samples were activated by the addition of S-9 fraction, comonly used with the Ames/Microsome test. Only one of the samples showed toxic activity by the Microtox test"--Abstract.
