Determination of antimutagenic activity of Conyza extracts in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 against sodium azide (NaN₃; 2 μg/plate).

Treatment	NaN3 mutagenicity at Conyza extract concentrations; (revertant colonies/plate; mean ± SEM (% reduction in NaN3 mutagenicity))
	Preexposure*		Coexposure*
	1 mg/mL	5 mg/mL	1 mg/mL	5 mg/mL
NaN3 (2 μg/plate)	290.3 ± 17.1 (0)

∗Plant extracts were incubated with bacteria either 30 minutes before NaN₃ (Preexposure) or incubated with the bacteria and NaN₃ (coexposure). The spontaneous revertant colonies were 17.0 ± 2.1. ^aSignificant (P < 0.05) reduction (% of inhibition of mutagenicity indicated in parentheses) from revertant colonies seen with NaN₃. ^bSignificant difference (P < 0.05) between plant extract concentrations.
