Greg:
I posted a request for contacts to assist me in assessing the
feasibility of using microsomal fractions of hepatopancreas of mussels
(M. edulis), plated in an Ames test setup containing the substance to be
tested for mutagenesis, as an indicator of estuarine water quality and
toxin runoff from surrounding agricultural and industrial land. Do you
ahve any interest in this, comments on how to design this totally in
vitro, etc. We grow tons of mussels here on PEI, so the model is already
built in. Email me if you want a copy of the original post or details of
my proposal. Thanks
