Bio-antimutagen Detection Method with Wing Spot Test by Drosophila melanogaster

Abstract

Application of wing spot test with Drosophila melanogaster for bio-antimutagen detection was investigated. Firstly, four mutagen exposure methods were compared with Trp-P-2 or IQ, and cellulose powder method was recognized as the most effective. Then, cobaltous chloride, gallic acid and cinnamaldehyde which are known as bio-antimutagens were tested and this method was found very useful as a second screening method for bio-antimutagen between bacterial tests and cancer depression tests with mammals.
