Model		835 MHz (CW) exposure to bacterial strains and analysis of reverse mutation and DNA degradation
Details		Salmonella typhimurium (strains TA98 and TA1535) and Escherichia coli (strains WP2 and TA102) bacteria were exposed to 835-MHz (CW) (representing common Korean CDMA) at an SAR of 4 W/kg for 48 hours, either with or without the mutagens 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide, sodium azide, and cumene hydroxide, and analyzed for reverse mutation frequency using the AMES test. The authors report increased mutation rates in E.coli strains with RF exposure + mutagens, but anti-mutagenic effects of the same exposure in S. typhimurium. There were no observed effects of exposure on DNA degradation using the plasmid pBluescript SK(+) as an indicator. The authors summarize these observations as no consistent effects of RF exposure.
