[Genotoxicity of the preparation "binase" in tests on Salmonella: Ames test and ARA-test]

The present work deals with mutagenicity determination of enzyme sample "binase" (Bacillus intermedius ribonuclease) in microbial test-systems: Ames test and Ara-test. The weak mutagenic effect of "binase" high concentration was established in both tests by induction of forward Ara-mutations and Histidine-reverse mutations. A metabolic activation is seen to remove this effect.
