Summary
An investigation was carried out into the genetic activity of DAB, CDA (Sample A), BZD and DAT in the strain JD1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Using a protocol developed to enhance the endogenous cytochrome P450 levels present in growing cells, it was found that all four compounds gave a positive response both in the presence and absence of a S9 preparation.
