Mutagenic activity of Fusarium moniliforme isolates in the Salmonella typhimurium assay

L F Bjeldanes et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1979 Jun.

Abstract

A total of 33 isolates of Fusarium moniliforme from several food or feed crops were grown on sterile cracked corn, and chloroform-isopropanol extracts were assayed for mutagenic activity in the Salmonella typhimurium-microsome system by using tester strain TA98 or TA100 or both. Extracts of 21 (64%) of the isolates assayed against TA100 were mutagenic. Activities of seven of these extracts were increased markedly with incorporation of the liver homogenate (S-9) into the assay. Seven (33%) of the isolates assayed against TA98 were weakly active, with the liver homogenate having little effect on reversion rates.
