[Genotoxic effects of molybdenum and its derivatives in an experiment on Drosophila and mammals].

As a result of research it is established that molybdenum shows the most pronounced genetic activity at the early stages of spermatogenesis. Genetic effects of molybdenum and its modification by vitamin S are registered in the test of dominant lethal mutations. The cytogenetic activity of molybdenum, the molybdenic candle-end and its modification by antibacterial preparation have been revealed in the cells of mammalian marrow.
