Abstract
Nitrovin, a nitrofuran feed additive, is shown to be directly mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 and TA 100 between 0.1 and 2.5 microgram per plate (0.09--2.3 micrometer). Addition of a rat-liver homogenate reduces the mutation rates. Nitrovin inhibits growth of the same bacteria in suspension cultures at concentrations above 0.09 micrometer.
