Any other information on results incl. tables

In the mutagenicity tests, MB 46307 did not induce any concentration-dependent significant increase in the numbers of revertants of any strain at any of the test substance concentrations studied. The numbers of revertant colonies observed on solvent (dimethylsulfoxide) and standard positive control plates were considered to be acceptable and in concordance with values previously observed in this laboratory.

MB 46307 was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this assay.
