Abstract
Increasing concentrations of malonaldehyde and beta-propiolactone were increasingly mutagenic with 7 mutants of Salmonella typhimurium, 5 of which mutated bya frameshift mechanism and 2 of which mutated through base-pair substitution. The antioxidants vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) at 3 logarithmic concentrations markedly reduced mutagenesis in those strains which mutated by frameshift mechanism.Entities:
