Mutagenic index (M.I.): ratio of the his + induced with samples/spontaneous his + in the negative control. S.D.: standard deviation. Positive responses marked in bold when M.I. ≥ 2.
bPercent of cellular survival: <70% was considered toxic dose and it is marked in bold.
*Representation of a significant response ( ).
Negative control was DMSO. Positive controls and their M.I., with and without S9 mix, respectively, were: 4NQO (7.19) and 2AA (9.55) for TA97, 4NQO (10) and 2AA (3.95) for TA98; AS (13) and 2AA (2.10) for TA100, AS (18) and 2AA (6.25) for TA1535, and MitC (9.28 and 6.86) for TA102.
