[Genotoxicity of synthetic dyes in umu test using Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 (1). Results of examination for acid dyes, direct dyes, disperse dyes and reactive dyes].

Abstract excerpt

The umu test system is a newly developed method to evaluate genotoxicities of a wide variety of environmental carcinogens and mutagens (Oda et al., 1985; Nakamura et al., 1987). In the present study, SOS-inducing activity of 142 synthetic dyes was investigated by the umu test using Salmonella typhimurium (TA1535/pSK1002) under the condition of absence and presence of rat liver microsomal fraction. The samples...
