Abstract BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. This study deals with the estimation of mutagenicity of soil samples that have been decontaminated by a mixture of specific bacterial cultures degrading enzymatically foreign polycyclic organic substances which decompose with difficulty by natural processes. Mutagenicity was estimated by means of bacterial detection systems of Salmonella typhimurium His- and the SOS chromotest in variants with and without metabolic activation vitro using the liver fraction S9. The detection of mutagenicity was c nic activity: they testified to the chemical processes taking place in the soil. The obtained results show that bacterial detection systems can be used when the course and effectiveness of biodegradation processes of decontamination are considered.
