Other than for benzidine, all other data were generated in Salmonella frameshift strain YG1041, which over-expresses both O-acetyltransferase and nitroreductase. The benzidine data were generated in the related strain YG1024, which over-expresses only O-acetyltransferase. Data for benzidine were extrapolated from published dose-response curves, and data for charcoal emissions were estimated from published data.
