Abstract
Anaerobic bacteria (Bacteroides fragilis, B vulgatus, and B thetaiotaomicron) possess the enzymic ability to convert 2-nitrofluorene and 2-aminofluorene to substances mutagenic for Salmonella typhimurium. If it be assumed that the active intermediate for both chemicals is 2-hydroxylaminofluorene, then these bacteria possess reductive as well as oxidative capabilities.Entities:
