E. coli strain WP2uvrA-: 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate
Additional dose levels were included where applicable to allow for test material induced toxicity, ensuring that a minimum of four non-toxic dose levels were achieved.

- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The test material was insoluble in distilled water and only partially soluble in dimethyl sulphoxide at 50 mg/mL in solubility checks performed in-house. The test material was fully soluble in acetone at the same concentration.

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hours
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: in triplicate
Measured aliquots (0.1 mL) of one of the bacterial cultures were dispensed into sets of test tubes followed by 2 mL of molten, trace histidine or tryptophan supplemented, top agar, 0.1 mL of the test material formulation, vehicle or positive control, and either 0.5 mL of S9-mix or phosphate buffer. The contents of each test tube were mixed and equally distributed onto the surface of Vogel-Bonner Minimal agar plates (one tube per plate). This procedure was repeated, in triplicate for each bacterial strain and for each concentration of test material both with and without S9 mix. All plates were incubated at 37 degrees C for 48 hours and the frequency of revertant colonies assessed using a Domino colony counter. - Evaluation criteria:
- Reverse mutation to histidine independent forms which are detected by their ability to grow on a histidine deficient medium. Test material should have induced a reproducible, dose-related and statistically significant increase in the revertant count in at least one strain of bacteria.
- Statistics:
- Dunnett's method of linear regression

- Additional information on results:
- The vehicle (acetone) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated. The test material caused a visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn and/or a significant reduction in revertant colony frequency to all of the Salmonella strains, initially at 500 and 1500 µg/plate in the absence and presence of S9, respectively. No toxicity was noted to E.coli strain WP2uvrA- at any test material dose level either with or without S9. The sensitivity of the tester strains to the toxicity of the test material varied slightly between strain type, exposures with or without S9-mix and experiment number. These findings were not indicative of toxicity sufficiently severe to prevent the test material being tested up to the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate. An oily precipitate was observed at and above 1500 µg/plate; this did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies. No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test material, either with or without metabolic activation.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
- Executive summary:
The method conforms to the guidelines for bacterial mutagenicity testing published by the major Japanese Regulatory Authorities including METI, MHLW and MAFF. It also meets the requirements of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 471 "Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test", Method B13/14 of Commission Directive 2000/32/EC and the USA, EPA (TSCA) OPPTS harmonised guidelines. The study was carried out under GLP conditions.
Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA- were treated with the test material using the Ames plate incorporation method at up to seven dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolising system (10 % liver S9 in standard co-factors). The dose range for the first experiment was determined in a preliminary toxicity assay and was 5 to 5000 µg/plate for the Salmonella strains and 50 to 5000 µg/plate for E. coli strain WP2uvrA. The experiment was repeated on a separate day using an amended dose range based on results from Experiment 1, fresh cultures of the bacterial strains and fresh test material formulations.
Additional dose levels were included (where applicable) to allow for test material induced toxicity, ensuring that a minimum of four non-toxic dose levels were achieved.
The vehicle (acetone) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.
The test material caused a visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn and/or a significant reduction in revertant colony frequency to all of the Salmonella strains, initially at 500 and 1500 µg/plate in the absence and presence of S9 respectively. No toxicity was noted to E. coli strain WP2uvrA at any test material dose level either with or without S9. The sensitivity of the tester strains to the toxicity of the test material varied slightly between strain type, exposures with or without S9-mix and experiment number. These findings were not indicative of toxicity sufficiently severe to prevent the test material being tested up to the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate. An oily precipitate was observed at and above 1500 µg/plate; this did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies.
No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test material, either with or without metabolic activation.
The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
