In the Salmonella test, all water samples, presence and absence of S9 mix, showed mutagenic activity on Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 and TA 100. All samples tested with the SOS-chromotest were not found to induce primary DNA damage in E. coli PQ37. For each sample, the sensitivity of the tests indicated that SOS-chromotest is less sensitive than Salmonella assay.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGenotoxicitySalmonella Mutagenicity TestSos-ChromotestSurface Water GenotoxicityArticle1611A13191324WOS:0002520034000012-s2.0-37849006172N/AQ4
