The Micronucleus test is a biomarker of mutagenicity/genotoxicty used for determining changes in DNA fragments exposure to pollution and chemicals. For this purpose, frequency of MN and other nuclear abnormalities (binucleated, nuclear buds, fragmented/apoptotic cells) was analyzed. Increasing concentrations of BPA (12.5-100 µg-BPA/L) were tested for determination of MN under semi-static conditions in the laboratory. According to the results of the study, it is revealed that all concentration of BPA increases the genotoxic damage, and elevates the micronucleus frequency from ‰ 11, 33 to ‰ 37, 35 Thus, it was tried to determine whether BPA affected the cells of </span> <i> <span style="font-size:14px;"> </span> <span style="font-size:14px;">M. galloprovincialis </span> </i> <span style="font-size:14px;"> </span> </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:14px;line-height:150%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">(Lamarck 1819) </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> <span style="font-size:14px;">at the level of DNA through to the MN assay.  </span> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}
