Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of antimutagenicity of water extracts of grass-wrack pondweed (Potamogeton oxyphylus Miquel), curled pondweed (Potamogeton crispus L.) and smartweed (Polygonum hydropiper L.) towards benzo[a]pyrene mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium was investigated. The antimutagenic components in the aquatic plants were water-soluble, heat-resistant and had a high molecular weight; chlorophyll did not play an...
