SALMONELLA MUTAGENICITY TESTING

本合同的目的是测试化学品的致突变性， 沙门氏菌。 这些化学物质是在一系列的代码下测试的， 沙门氏菌试验菌株，有和没有代谢活化。 该测试的结果与其他测试结果结合使用。 信息，以评价毒性和潜在致癌性， 化学物质 测试的结果分布在整个 计划，其他联邦机构，以及其他公共和私人 组织，并发表在同行评审的科学 文学

The objective of this contract is to test chemicals for mutagenicity in Salmonella. The chemicals are tested, under code, in a series of Salmonella tester strains, both with and without metabolic activation. The results of this testing are used, in combination with other information, to evaluate the toxicity, and potential carcinogenicity, of the chemicals. The results of the testing are distributed throughout the Program, to other Federal agencies, and to other public and private organizations, and are published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature.
