title: Rec-assay of human bile for mutagenicity and co-mutagenicity.
abstract: Spore rec-assay of human bile was conducted by the Bacillus subtilis test system to examine possible mutagenicity and co-mutagenicity. Of 26 samples examined, 8 (30.8%) showed mutagenic activity and 23 (88.5%) enhanced the mutagenic activity of mitomycin C.
