| Abstract: | The rec-assay of the nitropyrenes in Bacillus subtilis was performed. All nitropyrene derivatives were positive in this system. Especially, 3 isomers of 1,3-, 1,6- and 1,8-dinitropyrene and 4-nitropyrene were found to possess strong DNA-damaging capacities at extremely low concentrations. |
