Mutagenic activity of thiram in Ames tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium.

The mutagenic activity of thiram was investigated in 4 histidine-requiring strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA1535, TA100, TA1538, TA98) with and without activation by liver microsomes. In strains TA1535 and TA100, thiram induces mutations without metabolic activation. The presence of rat-liver microsome fraction, cysteine or glutathione abolish its mutagenic activity in these strains. In contrast, thiram requires metabolic activation for the expression of its mutagenic activity in TA1538 and TA98 strains. The compounds containing the sulphydryl group abolish mutagenic activity of thiram in these strains, too.

Mutagenic activity of furfural in Salmonella typhimurium TA100.

The mutagenic activity of furfural was tested in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100. Furfural produced mutations in the TA100 strain, but not in the TA98 strain. A rat-liver microsomal fraction did not increase the mutagenic activity of furfural in either strain. Mutagenic activity of furfural in the TA100 strain was not increased by benzo[alpha]pyrene in the presence of metabolic activation.
