Abstract

A process for inducing cytochrome P-450 enzyme production in bacteria of the genus Streptomyces using inducers such as soybean flour, genistein or genistin is described. Uses for the cytochrome P-450 enzymes produced are also discussed as is a process for using genetically engineered Streptomyces to determine the mutagenicity of chemicals.
