title: Effect of flavones and their metabolites on induction of SOS repair in the strain PQ37--E. coli K-12.
abstract: The SOS-Chromotest was used to detect DNA damage induced by two flavones: apigenin and luteolin and/or their metabolites. It was found that the compounds tested weakly induced the SOS repair system in the strain studied.
