Abstract
Diquat and paraquat were assayed in the following tests. (1) Ames test in Salmonella typhimurium (strains TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and TA100) with and without rat-liver microsomal fractions. (2) Resistance to 8-azaguanine in Salmonella typhimurium (strain hisG46, TA92 and TA1535. (3) Repair test in Salmonella typhimurium (strains TA1538 and TA1978). (4) Gene mutations in Aspergillus nidulans: 8-AG resistance and methionine suppression (meth A1 locus). (5) Lethal recessive damage in Aspergillus nidulans. (6) Unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in human epithelial-like cells (EUE). Diquat and paraquat were positive in S. typhimurium (in the repair test and the 8-AG resistance system), in A. nidulans (for gene mutations and lethal recessive damage induction) and in EUE cells (UDS induction).Entities:
