COMET ASSAY - A SENSITIVE TOOL FOR GENOTOXICITY ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS IN MYTILUS GALLOPROVINCIALIS FROM THE BULGARIAN BLACK SEA COAST

Comet assay - a sensitive tool for genotoxicity assessment of environmental stress in Mytilus galloprovincialis from the Bulgarian Black Sea coast

Assessment of DNA damage is of primary concern when the pollution-related stress in living organisms has to be determined.The reason for this concern comes from the evidence that damages in DNA often lead to mutations which are potential threat for the sustainability of organisms and ecological systems.To monitor genotoxicity of the marine environm
