Tests were conducted to determine the effects of fungicides, captafol and chlorothalonil, on microbial and enzymatic activities in sandy loam. The results indicated that when captafol or chlorothalonil was added to the sandy loam, bacterial and fungicidal populations initially decreased

The cytotoxicity of captafol, a phthalimide-derived fungicide, was evaluated in IB-RS-2 cells. Captafol at 0.12-1.0 microgram/ml blocks the cell multiplication. This effect is concentration-dependent, only partially reversible and the degree of inhibition increases with time. The synthesis of DNA and

The mutagenic and genotoxic potential of four pesticides viz. captan, foltaf, phosphamidon and furadan was evaluated by the Ames mutagenicity assay and their DNA damaging ability on radiation repair defective E. coli K-12 strains respectively. The mutagenic spectrum revealed captan
The modifying effects of captafol and protective effects of L-cysteine on the development of glutathione S-transferase placental form-positive (GST-P +) foci of the liver and expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in the kidney were investigated in a medium-term

In a development trial for an initiation bioassay system, 7 known carcinogens and 1 suspected carcinogen were examined. In experiment 1, group 1 animals were initially subjected to partial hepatectomy (PH) 12 h before administration of diethylnitrosamine, 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]-quinoline (IQ), captafol
