The Mutagenic Effect of Pesticide Cyfluthrin 10 WP in Conidia of the Fungus Aspergillus amstelodami

Non-toxic concentrations of the pesticide Cyfluthrin 10 WP were tested for thier ability to induce forward point mutations resistant to the base analogue 8-azaguanine (8-Azg) in conidia of the ascomycetous fungus Aspergillus amstelodami. It appeared that pesticide Cyfluthrin 10 WP was aweak mutagenic under our experimental conditions.
