Urine collected during 24 h after treatment of rats with 90--550 mg/kg isonicotinic acid hydrazide (isoniazid, INH) was after lyophilization, mutagenic for Salmonella typhimurium TA1535. Urine collected directly from bladders of INH-treated rats was not mutagenic, and solutions of INH in water or urine became mutagenic only after lyophilization. In the absence of lyophilization, sterile urine from INH-treated rats became mutagenic after 8--14 days' storage at room temperature.
