Effects of tannic acid on spontaneous and induced somatic mutations in Drosophila melanogaster.

Mutagenesis - 1 May 1991

Szakmary A, Knasmüller S

Abstract excerpt

The effects of tannic acid (TA) alone and in combination with direct acting chemical genotoxins and gamma-radiation were investigated in Somatic Mutation and Recombination Tests (SMARTs) using Drosophila melanogaster. Treatment with TA alone (2.5-15 mmol/l) resulted in a moderate but dose dependent induction of mosaic spots in males and females, indicating that the compound possesses mutagenic and recombinogenic...
