An alternative system to microsomal assay. PG - 117-23 AB - Certain aspects of cytochrome P-450 induction were studied in a diploid strain (D7) of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in order to obtain cells containing a high level of metabolizing enzymes. The highest level of cytochrome P-450 was reached during the logarithmic growth phase in a 20%-glucose liquid medium. Yeast cells harvested in these conditions were used in the mutagenesis test with dimethyl nitrosamine (DMNA) as a positive control and with styrene (Sty). Both substances gave positive results, whereas Sty never showed any mutagenic activity in the conventional test with stationary growth phase cells and external metabolic activation. The test with cells from the logarithmic growth phase is proposed as a possible alternative to the liver-microsome assay, and its reliability is discussed.
