ABSTRACT:
Six sets of Salmonella typhimurium strains are provided, all strains having low spontaneous mutation rates, and each set being sensitive to and diagnostic of one of the six possible base substitutions in DNA. Also provided are methods for making and using these S. typhimurium strains to detect, and establish the type of specific base substitution mutation induced by, mutagenic agents.
