- Culture of Bacteria
Eight hours before the start of each experiment, one vial of permanent culture from each strain was taken from the deep freezer, and an aliquot was put into a culture flask containing nutrient broth. After incubation for eight hours at 37 ±1 °C, the cultures were used in the experiment. During the test, the cultures were stored at room temperature as to prevent changes in the titre.
Conduct of Experiment
Preparations
In the days before each test (exact production dates are documented in the raw data), the media and solutions were prepared.
On the day of the test, the bacteria cultures were checked for growth. The incubation chambers were heated to 37 ±1 °C. The water bath was turned to 43 ±1 °C. The table surface was disinfected.
The S9 mix was freshly prepared and stored at 0 °C.
Description of the Method
General preparation
Per strain and dose, three plates with and three plates without S9 mix were used.
Top agar base was melted in a microwave oven, after melting, 10 mL of histidine-biotin solution 0.5 mM per 100 mL basis was added and the bottle was placed in the water bath at 43 ±1 °C.
Plate incorporation method
The following materials were gently vortexed in a test tube and poured onto the selective agar plates:
-100 μL test solution at each dose level, solvent (negative control) or reference mutagen solution (positive control)
-500 μL S9 mix or phosphate buffer (for test without metabolic activation)
-100 μL bacteria suspension
-2000 μL overlay agar (top agar)
The plates were closed and left to solidify for a few minutes, then inverted and placed in the dark incubator at 37 ±1 °C.
Pre-incubation method
The following materials were gently vortexed in a test tube and incubated at 37 ±1°C for 20 minutes:
-100 μL test solution at each dose level, solvent (negative control) or reference mutagen solution (positive control)
-500 μL S9 mix (see chapter 6.4.18, for test with metabolic activation) or phosphate buffer (for test without metabolic activation)
-100 μL bacteria suspension
After pre-incubation, 2000 μL overlay agar (top agar) was added, the tube was gently vortexed and the mixture was poured onto the selective agar plate.
The plates were closed and left to solidify for a few minutes, then inverted and placed in the dark incubator at 37 ±1 °C. - Rationale for test conditions:
- In accordance with the test guidelines
- Evaluation criteria:
- A substance is considered to have mutagenic potential, if a reproducible increase of revertant colonies per plate exceeding an increase factor of 2 in at least one strain can be observed. A concentration-related increase over the range tested is also taken as a sign of mutagenic activity.
- Statistics:
- The colonies were counted visually and the numbers were recorded. A validated spreadsheet software (Microsoft Excel®) was used to calculate mean values and standard deviations of each treatment, solvent control and positive control.
The mean values and standard deviations of each threefold determination was calculated as well as the increase factor f(l) of revertant induction (mean revertants divided by mean spontaneous revertants) of the test item solutions and the positive controls. Additionally, the absolute number of revertants (Rev. Abs.) (mean revertants minus mean spontaneous revertants) was given.

- Experiment 1a
Confirmation of the Criteria and Validity
All strains met the criterion of at least 109 bacteria/mL, and no inconsistencies were found in the sterility control. All determined values for the spontaneous revertants of the negative controls were in the normal range of the test laboratory. All positive controls (diagnostic mutagens) showed mutagenic effects with and without metabolic activation and nearly all were within the historical control data ranges (1 exception).
Solubility and Toxicity
In the experiment 1a, the test item showed no precipitates on the plates in all tested concentrations.
No signs of toxicity towards the bacteria strains could be observed. The bacterial background lawn was visible and not affected. The number of revertant colonies was not reduced.
Mutagenicity
No significant increase of the number of revertant colonies in the treatments with and without metabolic activation could be observed. No concentration-related increase over the tested range was found.
Therefore, the test item is stated as not mutagenic under the test conditions.
To verify this result, a further experiment was performed.
Due to an experimental error, no evaluation of the bacteria strains TA97a and TA98 was possible.
Experiment 1b
Confirmation of the Criteria and Validity
Both strains met the criterion of at least 109 bacteria/mL, and no inconsistencies were found in the sterility control. All determined values for the spontaneous revertants of the negative controls were in the normal range of the test laboratory. All positive controls (diagnostic mutagens) showed mutagenic effects with and without metabolic activation and were within the historical control data ranges.
Solubility and Toxicity
In the experiment 1b, the test item showed no precipitates on the plates in all tested concentrations.
No signs of toxicity towards the bacteria strains could be observed. The bacterial background lawn was visible and not affected. The number of revertant colonies was not reduced.
Mutagenicity
No significant increase of the number of revertant colonies in the treatments with and without metabolic activation could be observed. No concentration-related increase over the tested range was found.
Therefore, the test item is stated as not mutagenic under the test conditions.
To verify this result, a further experiment was performed.
Experiment 2
Confirmation of the Criteria and Validity
All strains met the criterion of at least 109 bacteria/mL, and no inconsistencies were found in the sterility control. Nearly all determined values for the spontaneous revertants of the negative controls (one exception) were in the normal range of the test laboratory. All positive controls (diagnostic mutagens) showed mutagenic effects with and without metabolic activation and were within the historical control data ranges.
Solubility and Toxicity
In the second experiment, the test item showed no precipitates on the plates in all tested concentrations.
No signs of toxicity towards the bacteria strains could be observed. The bacterial background lawn was visible and not affected. The number of revertant colonies was not reduced.
Mutagenicity
No significant increase of the number of revertant colonies in the treatments with and without metabolic activation could be observed. No concentration-related increase over the tested range was found.
Therefore, the test item is stated as not mutagenic under the test conditions.
Acceptability of Study, Discussion
In all experiments, no precipitation of the test item was observed at any of the tested concentrations up to 5000 μg/plate.
In all three experiments, the test item caused no cytotoxicity towards all bacteria strains
The confirmation tests of the genotype did not show any irregularities. The control of the titre was above the demanded value of 109 bacteria/mL.
Nearly all of the means of all replicates of the spontaneous revertants (in negative and solvent controls, one exception) were within the range of the historical data of the test facility.
Nearly all numbers of revertant colonies of the positive controls (only one exception) were within the range of the historical data of the laboratory, but all were increased in comparison with the negative controls, which demonstrated the mutagenic potential of the diagnostic mutagens.
Since all criteria for acceptability have been met, the study is considered valid.

The bacterial background lawn was not reduced at any of the concentrations and no relevant decrease in the number of revertants was observed in all bacteria strains. The test item Hatcol 3178 showed no signs of toxicity towards the bacteria strains in both the absence and presence of metabolic activation.
The results of this experiment showed that none of the tested concentrations showed a significant increase in the number of revertants in all tested strains, in the presence and the absence of metabolic activation.
Due to an experimental error, no evaluation of the bacteria strains TA97a and TA98 was possible.
In experiment 1b, Hatcol 3178 was tested up to concentrations of 5000 μg/plate in the absence and presence of S9-mix in the strains TA97a and TA98 using the plate incorporation method.
Hatcol 3178 showed no precipitates on the plates at any of the concentrations. The bacterial background lawn was not reduced at any of the concentrations and no relevant decrease in the number of revertants was observed in all bacteria strains. The test item Hatcol 3178 showed no signs of toxicity towards the bacteria strains in both the absence and presence of metabolic activation.
The results of this experiment showed that none of the tested concentrations showed a significant increase in the number of revertants in all tested strains, in the presence and the absence of metabolic activation.
On the base of the experiments 1a and 1b, Hatcol 3178 was tested up to concentrations of 5000 μg/plate in the absence and presence of S9-mix in all bacteria strains using the pre-incubation method.
Hatcol 3178 showed no precipitates on the plates at any of the concentrations.
The bacterial background lawn was not reduced at any of the concentrations and no relevant decrease in the number of revertants was observed in all bacteria strains. The test item Hatcol 3178 showed no signs of toxicity towards the bacteria strains in both the absence and presence of metabolic activation.
The results of this experiments showed that the test item Hatcol 3178 caused no increase in the number of revertants in all bacteria strains compared to the solvent control, in both the absence and presence of metabolic activation. The test item Hatcol 3178 did not induce a dose-related increase in the number of revertants colonies in all strains, in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.
Based on the results of this study it is concluded that Hatcol 3178 is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA1535 in the absence and presence of metabolic activation under the experimental conditions in this study.
