The two strains provided in the Ames II™ test kit are the Ames II™ TAMix and TA98. The Ames
II™ TAMix contains an equimolar mixture of the Ames II™ TA7001-TA7006 strains. Like the
traditional strains, the genetic background of the TA700X series strains have been modified to
improve the sensitivity of their reversion. Individually, these strains are designed to revert by
only one specific base-pair substitution out of all possible changes. Thus, when mixed, all base
pair substitution mutations can be represented in one culture. The TA98 strain is used for the
detection of frameshift mutations (1).
