Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)
- Amount per plate: 0.1 mL

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48-55 hours at 37°C

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates per strain per group.
-No independent repeat experiment was conducted.

TOXICITY TEST:
- In order to estimate a growth-inhibiting effect of the test substance on the bacteriam a plate test without microsomal activation was performed on Strain TA 100 with the following concentrations: 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000 and 2000 µg/0.1 mL.
Evaluation criteria:
The test substance is generally considered to be nonmutagenic if the colony count in relation to the negative control is not doubled at any concentration.
Statistics:
The arithmetic mean was calculated when the colonies had been counted. No statistical analysis test was performed.

Any other information on results incl. tables

In the experiments performed with and without microsomal activation, comparison of the number of histidine- or tryptophanprototrophic mutants in the controls and after treatment with the test item revealed no marked differences. A growth-inhibiting effect of test item

was observed with all strains at the concentration of 5000 µg/0.1 ml. At the concentration of 5000 µg/0.1 ml the substance precipitated in soft agar.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test item is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay under the test conditions.
