A simple method for the inactivation of nitrosoguanidine, a mutagenic agent permitting the simplification and acceleration of the procedure used for obtaining bacterial mutants, is described. This method is based on the addition of unithiol to nitrosoguanidine solution to a final concentration of 0.25-0.5% and the subsequent normalization of the pH of the medium with 0.1 N NaOH solution.
