| development of genotoxicity assay systems that use aquatic organisms. | our aim is to develop and evaluate monitoring systems that use aquatic organisms to assess the genotoxicity of water in the field and in the laboratory. in a field study, we have shown that the micronucleus assay is applicable to freshwater and marine fishes and that gill cells are more sensitive than hematopoietic cells to micronucleus-inducing agents. gill cells from carassius sp. (funa) and zacco platypus (oikawa) collected upstream on the tomio river (nara, japan), tended to have lower micro ... | 1998 | 9672655 |
