Tannic acid is not mutagenic in germ cells but weakly genotoxic in somatic cells of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Tannic acid (TA) was tested for genotoxic activity in three different assays (1-3) in Drosophila melanogaster by feeding of larvae or adult flies. TA did not induce sex-linked recessive lethals (1) nor sex-chromosome loss, mosaicism or non-disjunction (2)
