Non-mutagenicity of Fe3+-NTA and NTA in the Ames Salmonella Test
The mutagenic effects of ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe3+-NTA) and nitrilotriacetate (NTA) were evaluated on 8 Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA97, TA98, TA102, TA1535, TA1537, TA100 1,8-DNP6 and TA100NR). Neither Fe3+-NTA nor NTA significantly increased the frequency of revertant colonies in any of the different experimental conditions adopted.
