PROCESS FOR INDUCING CYTOCHROME P-450 ENZYMES IN STREPTOMYCES BACTERIA AND DETERMINING THE MUTAGENICITY OF CHEMICALS

摘要

TITLEProcess for Inducing Cytochrome P-450Enzymes in Streptomyces Bacteria and Determining theMutagenicity of ChemicalsABSTRACTA process for inducing cytochrome P-450 enzymeproduction in bacteria of the genus Streptomyces usinginducers such as soybean flour, genistein or genistinis described. Uses for the cytochrome P-450 enzymesproduced are also discussed as is a process for usinggenetically engineered Streptomyces to determine themutagenicity of chemicals.
