Abstract
Metallic oxide powders (magnesium oxide, calcium oxide and zinc oxide) havi ng antibacterial activity were examined for their mutagenicity and antimuta genicity by the Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium TA 102. These powders were not mutagenic to the tester strain and reduced the mutagenicity of me thylglyoxal.
