I want to study the Genotoxicity of Silver Nanoparticles using the Ames Test. But, I am unable to procure the Tester strains of Salmonella Typhimurium. Can someone help me out in procuring the strain in India?
You can obtain all the Ames tester strains from Moltox (official supplier in India is Krishgen). S. typhimurium TA98 (MTCC 1251) and TA100 (MTCC 1252) are available from the Microbial Type Culture Collection in Chandigarh. Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA1535 (ATCC 29629), TA1537 (ATCC 29630), and E. coli WP2 uvrA (ATCC 49979) can be obtained from ATCC via HiMedia.
