Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the possible mutagenicity of hair dye using the auxotroph’s methionine Proteus Mirabilis as a test. The Ames test was employed to identify reverse mutations in auxotroph’s P. Mirabilis treated with hair dyes. The results demonstrated a significant increase (P< 0.05) in reverse colonies of auxotroph’s P. mirabilis treated with 250 and 500 mg/mL of hair dyes in comparison to the negative control. Reverse mutations in the metE gene of the auxotroph’s P. Mirabilis were identified using DNA sequencing and polymerase chain reaction. The results confirmed the presence of the metE gene at a percentage of (100%) in all isolates treated with hair dyes at 250 and 500 mg/mL. Using BLAST software, the metE gene’s sequence was compared to the gene sequence of a standard isolate. Point mutations in the DNA of the metE gene altered protein translation, according to a genetic study of metE gene isolates treated with hair dyes. Finally, point mutations in the metE genes were identified using amino acid translation analysis of auxotroph’s P. mirabilis isolates treated with hair dyes. Point mutations in the metE gene cause many amino acids to be converted to methionine, which enables auxotroph’s P. mirabilis to grow without the need for methionine from an external source. The study found that the test for identifying mutagens in hair dyes was simple to use and cheap. It has also shown high efficacy in altering the amino acid and nitrogenous base sequences in the metE genes, thus their effect on methionine synthesis.
