Comparative mutagenicity test of dyes on E. coli WP2 and S. typhimurium as indicator organisms.
The mutagenic activity of some industrial dyes has been studied. None of these chemical substances reverted E. coli WP2 and S. typhimurium, regardless of their chemical structure, either in the direct test or in the liver microsomal assay.
