Mutagenic effects of thioacetamide in Drosophila melanogaster.
Thioacetamide, which is carcinogenic in mice and rats, has been reported as negative in Ames's test on Salmonella his- with and without liver microsomal fraction (S 9 mix). Tests on Drosophila reported here showed a significant increase in sex-linked recessive lethals after treatment with thioacetamide, both after injection and after feeding of males.
