Insect microsomes (expressing different forms of human P450s together with human NADPH-P450 reductase) that were treated with or without heat inactivation (90°C for 2 min) were incubated with the bacterial suspension in the absence of an NADPH-generating system for 120 min, and the induction of umu gene expression was determined by measuring β-galactosidase activity. Data are mean of single determination (with heat inactivation) or means of duplicate determinations ± range (without heat inactivation).
