Study on the Genetic Toxicity of β-1,3-D-Glucosans

Jinzhou Zhang

Abstract

Objective To study the genetic toxicity of β-1,3-D-glucosans. Methods Ames test , micronucleus test and sperm deformation test were used in mutagenicity observation experiments. Results In micronucleus test, no mutagenic effect was observed; and no increased sperm deformation was observed in sperm deformation test. The results of Ames test showed no mutagenic effect with or without S9. Conclusion The β-1,(3-D-glucosans) show no genetic (toxicity) observed in our experimental conditions.
