Notes:

^#

Concentrations investigated for all compounds were 10 and 20 μM except for compounds 1B and 5B – the concentrations used were 5 and 10 μM;

^a

significant (P < 0.05) reduction from mutant frequency seen with NaN₃;

^b

calculated from mutant colonies (Table 6)/viable colonies (Table 3).
