  • Title: Genotoxic effects of potassium dichromate, sodium arsenite, cobalt chloride and lead nitrate in diploid yeast.
    Author: Kharab P, Singh I.
    Journal: Mutat Res; 1985 Mar; 155(3):117-20. PubMed ID: 3883155.
    Abstract:
    4 metal salts, potassium dichromate, sodium arsenite, cobalt chloride and lead nitrate were tested for their genotoxic effects in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Potassium dichromate was the most potent agent for induction of gene conversion and reverse mutation. Sodium arsenite was virtually ineffective as a convertogen but gave a positive result for reversion. Cobalt chloride was the least toxic, exhibited a convertogenic activity but was only marginally active for reverse mutation. Lead nitrate was the most toxic salt but was genetically inactive.
