These tests included the mutagenicity test performed based on OECD guidelines section #471 that was proposed by Maron and Ames (1983), in vitro micronucleus test subjected to OECD guidelines #487using Chinese hamster lung cell (V79) and neutral red uptake cytotoxicity assay using normal mouse fibroblast cell (NIH/3T3). In bacterial reverse mutation test, A.bilimbi fruit extracts, C. caudatus and P. bleo plant extracts were treated onto Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537). 2016 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/84258/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/84258/1/84258.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Faculty of Applied Sciences Abdullah, Mohd Faiz Foong |
