Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
1,2 Dichloropropane was mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium but not to Streptomyces coelicolor.
Executive summary:

1,2 Dichloropropane was mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium but not to Streptomyces coelicolor. It induced mutations weakly but not chromosomal effects in Aspergillus nidulans. It did not induce sex-linked recessive lethal mutations in Drosophila melanogaster.
