Abstract
⺠Effects of BTEX, prior and after biodegradation, evaluated in Allium cepa test system. ⺠BTEX is genotoxic and mutagenic for Allium cepa cells, even at low concentrations. ⺠A. cepa is an efficient bioindicator of cellular damages induced by BTEX. ⺠Bacterial biodegradation process degrades BTEX and decreases its toxic action.
