Application of bacterial test systems and C. elegans nematodes for studying the genotoxicity of the photosensitizer 8-methoxypsoralen

Abstract
The lux-test method showed that the combined effect of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and UV irradiation leads to an increase in the luminescence of lux-biosensors by 3-40 times compared to the control. The nematode test confirmed the hypothesis of induction of active oxygen species (AOS) in eukaryotes when exposed to 8-MOP in combination with UV irradiation.
