SOS chromotest, a direct assay of induction of an SOS function in Escherichia coli K-12 to measure genotoxicity.

We present and evaluate the SOS chromotest, a bacterial test for detecting DNA-damaging agents. It is a colorimetric assay based on the induction by these agents of the SOS function sfiA, whose level of expression is monitored by means of a sfiA::lacZ operon fusion. The response is rapid (a few hour...
