title: Evaluation of the SOS chromotest.
abstract: In the present investigation, the SOS chromotest with E. coli PQ37 was evaluated. The potential to identify different kinds of bacterial mutagens was examined. 124 chemicals of different chemical classes were tested. Their responses in the SOS chromotests were compared to reported test results obtained with the Ames test.
