Notes:
Abstract Metallic oxide powders (magnesium oxide, calcium oxide and zinc oxide) having antibacterial activity were examined for their mutagenicity and antimutagenicity by the Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium TA 102. These powders were not mutagenic to the tester strain and reduced the mutagenicity of methylglyoxal.
