Bacterial revertants of Escherichia coli were measured by the treatment with ATEC or DEHP in the absence or presence of metabolic activation. (A,B) Bacterial revertant formation was measured in triplicate by Ames test. Escherichia coli (WP2uvrA(pKM101)) strains were treated with ATEC or DEHP without (A) or with (B) S9 mix. The number of revertant colonies was counted manually. Data in bar graph represent mean ± SED (n = 3). When the result was at least twice higher than that in negative control, it was considered to be positive.
