Doses are presented at which the highest frequencies of mitotic gene convertants per survivor were observed. Those concentrations were sometimes different for conversion at the two loci. The corresponding control values are given in parentheses. Treatments were performed in 0.1M potassium phosphate butter (pH 7.5) with shaking for 4 h at 25 ± 0.1 °C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test material was considered to be non-convertogenic under the conditions of this test.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the potential of the test material to induce mitotic gene conversion using diploid strain D4 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 

Diploid strain D4 (MD 20:a,+,ade2-I, trp5-27-+) was treated with the test material for 4 h in selective synthetic media (WICKERHAM), supplemented with amino acids and nucleobases (ROMAN) and solidified with 1.5% Difco bactoagar, usually up to 5,000 ppm/plate.

The test material showed inability to induce mitotic gene conversion. Convertants per 106survivors at the loci ade2 & trp5 was 45.7 & 2.9, respectively.

 

The test material was considered to be non-convertogenic under the conditions of this test.
