To determine whether whatever chemical that was introduced to the bacteria is a mutagen.
More revertants means better mutagen ie. the probability of a strain reverting back to wild-type is high since probability of a mutation in the DNA is high due to induced mutation by the mutagen.
Less revertants means poor mutagen ie. the probability of a strain reverting back to wild-type is low since probability of a mutation in the DNA is attributed to just the probability of an error in replication.

Purpose of liver extract in the Ames test?
Ames test is used to test whether a certain substance is mutagenic. Liver extract is optionally added to simulate the effect of metabolism, as some compounds, like benzo[a]pyrene, are not mutagenic themselves but their metabolic products are.
