Evaluation of alternariol and alternariol methyl ether for mutagenic activity in Salmonella typhimurium.

abstract：:Dibenzothiophene (DBT) and its derivatives can be microbially desulfurized by enzymes DszC, DszA, and DszB, which are encoded by the operon dszABC and contribute to the conversion in tandem. We investigated the expression characteristics of the dsz operon. Our results revealed that the levels of transcription and tran...
