Bamford D, Sorsa M, Gripenberg U, Laamanen I, Meretoja T: Mutagenicity and toxicity of amitrole. Mutat Res. 1976 Jul;40(3):197-202.
III. Microbial tests. . Amitrole (3-amino-1,2,4-triazole) inhibits bacterial growth both in Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium at a concentration of 0.5% in minimal medium. Repression of growth already occurs at a concentration of 0.1% of amitrole in this medium. In complete medium the bacteria tolerate concentrations of amitrole as high as 1.7-2.4% before growth ceases. Mutagenicity was tested by differential growth comparisons on E. coli strains W 3110 thy pol A1, defective in DNA polymerase I, and its revertant pol A+. Known mutagens (MMS, NTG, mitomycin C) were used as positive controls. Analogous negative results were also obtained in a revertant test when several trp mutant strains of Salmonella were used. |
