Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

In an Ames test , tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol, in dimethyl sulfoxide from doses 1-1000 ug/plate was not mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97, TA100,TA102 and TA104 with and without addition of S9 liver fractions from Aroclor induced rats.
