✦ Synopsis


Trihalomethanes, Carbon tetrachloride and trichloroethylene were tested in single, binary and multi-complex mixtures using standard tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TAlOO of Salmonella fyphimurium with and without addition of an in vitro metabolizing fraction S-9. Chloroform (CHC13) was found to be mutagenic in all strains without S-9 activation. However, when tested with Bromoform (15%), which was nonmutagenic singly, the combined effect of the mixture was nonmutagenic. CC14 was a direct mutagen (without S-9) in all strains except TA 1535. When combined with 85% CHC13, only strains TA1535 and TA1537 were mutagenic. When tested with mammalian activation (S-9), CCI, was mutagenic in all strains. However, when tested with CHCl3 (CHC13 and CC, -85 : 15), the mutagenic capability was lost.

With or without S-9 Activation multi-complex mixture of CHCI,, CCl, and TCE (85 : 8 : 7) was mutagenic for a narrow range of doses in all strains.

The genotoxic potential of the fungicide malachite green (MG) and its reduced derivative leucomalachite green (LMG) was assessed in bacteria and mammalian cells using the standard Salmonella typhimurium/Ames and CHO/HGPRT tests. In vitro potential DNA damaging effects of MG and LMG were tested using
