- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
Erythrosine failed to induce gene mutation in Bacillus subtilis H17 (Rec+) and M45 (Rec-) in the rec assay. - Executive summary:
Erythrosine was tested for gene mutation in vitro in the bacterium Basillus subtilis H17 (Rec+) and M45 (Rec-) in the rec assay performed.
Agar plates were streaked with inocula of two strains and paper disk 8 mm of diameter, immersed with 10 µM of dye in DMSO solution, was placed on the surface so as to cover the beginning of the bacterial streaks. After incubation for 24 hrs at 37◦C, the length of growth inhibition of the bacterial streak was measured.
The length of growth inhibition was found to be 2mm in Rec+and 3mm in Rec-strains.
Erythrosine failed to induce gene mutation in Bacillus subtilis H17 (Rec+) and M45 (Rec-) in the rec assay.
