Preliminary screening of mutagens was completed within 10 h by using a microbial electrode system composed of an oxygen electrode and a membrane filter retaining Salmonella typhimurium revertant. The current decrease was correlated with mutagen concentrations. The minimum measurable concentration for AF-2 was 0.001 pg mL" 1. The microbial electrode system was applied to the detection of other chemical mutagens such as Af-methyl-Af'-riitro-Af-nltroso-guanidlne, nltrofurazone methyl methanesulfonate, and ethyl methanesulfonate.The mutagenic activity of carcinogens has recently been confirmed in a great number of cases (1). The existence of a high correlation between the mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of chemicals is now evident. The use of the microbial system is important for a survey of mutagenic chemicals. Recently, a number of microbial methods for detecting various types of mutagens have been developed. Microbial reversion assay using Salmonella typhimurium (2, 3) or Escherichia coli (4) have been employed for screening tests of chemical carcinogens. A method named “Rec-assay” using Bacillus subtilis has also been proposed for screening chemical mu-
