Genotoxicity and antigenotoxicity assessment of shiitake (Lentinula edodes (Berkeley) Pegler) using the Comet assay
(Sociedade Brasileira de Genética, 2014)
Genotoxicity of aflatoxins and their precursors in human cells
(Elsevier Ireland, 2018-05)
Aflatoxins are found as food contaminant and some of them demonstrate a carcinogenic effect. The aflatoxins biosynthetic pathway involves 15 successive steps. The aim of this study was to compare the toxicity of aflatoxins ...
Aspergillus nidulans as a biological system to detect the genotoxic effects of mercury fumes on eukaryotes
(FUNPEC-EDITORA, 2009)
Mercury (Hg) pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems. Due to public concern prompted by the symptoms displayed by people who consumed contaminated fish in Minamata, Japan in 1956, Hg pollution has since ...
Assessment of the genotoxicity of two agricultural residues after processing by diplopods using the Allium cepa assay
(2013-03-22)
Agroindustrial by-products and residues from treatment of sewage sludge have been recently recycled as soil amendments. This study was aimed at assessing toxic potential of biosolid, obtained from a sewage treatment plant ...

Granular Activated Carbon Treatment May Result in Higher Predicted Genotoxicity in the Presence of Bromide
(2016-07-28)
Certain unregulated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are more of a health concern than regulated DBPs. Brominated species are typically more cytotoxic and genotoxic than their chlorinated analogs. The impact of granular ...
