Mutagenicity of Simulated Atmospheres

The data are the number of colonies per Petri plate for all the experiments. The colonies are mutants and are also called revertants (rev)--because the Salmonella mutagenicity assay is a "reverse mutation" assay. The data show the number of colonies (rev) per Petri plate for each experiment for each hour of exposure (1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 hours). This dataset is associated with the following publication: Zavala-Mendez, J., J. Krug, S. Warren, T. Krantz, C. King, J. Mckee, S. Gavett, M. Lewandowski, W. Lonneman, T. Kleindienst, M. Meier, M. Higuchi, M.I. Gilmour, and D. DeMarini. Evaluation of an Air Quality Health Index for Predicting the Mutagenicity of Simulated Atmospheres. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY. American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, USA, 52(5): 3045–3053, (2018).
