Abstract

Soybeans fermented with either Phellinus igniarius or Agrocybe cylindracea inhibited the mutagenicity of the directly-acting mutagens: 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine on Salmonella typhimurium strain TA 98 and NaN3 on S. typhimurium strain TA 100; and indirectly-acting mutagens, 2-aminofluorene using strain TA 98 and benzo[a]pyrene using strain TA 100, in the presence of a supernatant solution from mammalian hepatic microsomes.
