Abstract

Phaseolinone was mutagenic to excision-repair-deficient strains of Escherichia coli WP2 and also to Salmonella typhimurium TA100. The repair test was indicative of covalent binding of the toxin to DNA. The side-chain epoxide and the hydroxy groups of the molecule were found to be essential for mutagenic activity. © 1987 ASEG.
