Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

In Ames test. the numbers of revertant colonies showed no major differences from the negative controls for either BRL 25000 and BRL 14151K. No mutations were induced in any of the test strains. There were also no effects for either compound in the metabolic activation method by adding 59 mix. Therefore. it is assumed that BRL 25000 and BRL 14151K do not induce genetic mutations either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

BRL 25000 and BRL 14151K were tested for induction of gene mutation and chromosomal aberration. BRL 25000 and BRL14151K did not induce revertant colonies against Salmonella typhimurium TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA100 and TA98 and E. coli WP2 hcr- with and without S9 mix.
