The materials contained in this E. coli Mutagenicity Assay Kit include virtually all of the supplies necessary for the conduct of the assay as described by Green & Muriel, Mutat. Res. 38: 3, 1976. We strongly recommend that you carefully read this paper before you attempt to perform the assay. The MOLTOX® E. coli kit contains two tester strains; WP2 trp (72-187L) and WP2 trp uvrA (72-188L). Each strain was constructed with a lesion (tryptophan mutation) in the tryptophan operon. WP2 uvrA also contains a lesion in a DNA repair-coding gene (uvrA) that increases sensitivity to certain mutagenic activities. The MOLTOX® E. coli Mutagenicity Test kit includes sufficient components for testing 1 unknown sample, in triplicate analysis of 5 concentrations, positive and negative controls, with and without S9.
