Method
- Target gene:
- Histidine or tryptophan locus in the genome of five strains of bacteria
- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- Preliminary test: Concentrations tested were 0, 0.15, 0.5, 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500, 5000 ug total protein/plate
Experiment 1: Five concentrations of the test item (50, 150, 500, 5000 ug total protein/plate, based on total protein content of 130.11 mg/ml)
Experiment 2: Five concentrations of the test item (50, 150, 500, 5000 ug total protein/plate, based on total protein content of 130.11 mg/ml) .
The highest dose is equivalent to 6.37 mg enzyme concentrate dry matter/mL. - Vehicle / solvent:
- sterile distilled water
Controls
- Untreated negative controls:
- yes
- Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
- yes
- Remarks:
- sterile distilled water
- Positive controls:
- yes
- Positive control substance:
- 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide
- 9-aminoacridine
- N-ethyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine
- benzo(a)pyrene
- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- The test item was fully soluble in the Sponsor selected vehicle (sterile distilled water) at 50 mg total protein/ml in solubility checks performed in-house. Prior to the start of each experiment, the test item was removed from storage and placed at approximately 4C to thaw.
The test item was accurately measured out and approximate half-log dilutions prepared in sterile distilled water by autovortexing on the day of each experiment. All formulations were used within four hours of preparation and were assumed to be stable. - Evaluation criteria:
- Any, one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result:
1) A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested. (De Serres and Shelby (1979))
2) A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3) Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4) Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS. (Mahon et al (1989))
5) Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out-of-historical range response).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Cellulase is not mutagenic in the Ames assay in both the presence and absence of metabolic activation.
- Executive summary:
The objective of this assay was to assess the potential of Cellulase to induce point mutations (frame-shift and base-pair) in four strains of Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 andE. coliWP2 uvrA. The test material was tested both in the presence and absence of a metabolic activation system (Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver; S9- mix). A pre-experiment test was performed first for dose selection. Subsequently, one independent main test was performed with all 5 strains in both the presence and absence of S9-mix. Triplicate plates were used at each test point. All dose levels were expressed in terms of total protein (TP).
The test item was fully soluble in the vehicle (sterile distilled water) at 50 mg TP/ml. In the preliminary assay, 10 dose levels ranging from 0.15 to 5000 µg TP/plate were used. No precipitation and/or cytotoxicity were noted up to the highest tested concentration of 5000 µg TP/plate. In experiment 1, five dose levels of the test item ranging from 50 to 5000 µg TP/plate (equivalent to 61 to 6100 µg TOS/plate) were assayed in triplicate using the direct plate incorporation method. The highest dose level tested (5000 µg TP/plate) is the maximum required by the OECD guideline. In experiment 2, five dose levels of the test item ranging from 50 to 5000 µg TP/plate were assayed in triplicate using the pre-incubation method. The highest dose is equivalent to 6.37 mg enzyme concentrate dry matter/mL. Sterile distilled water served as vehicle control. Appropriate positive controls were selected for assays with and without S9-mix. The study was conducted in accordance with OECD guideline No. 471 (1997) and complied with all standard GLP.
Cellulase was not toxic to the test bacteria up to and including the highest dose level (5000 µg TP/plate) in both the absence and presence of S9-mix. No biologically significant increases in the number of revertant colonies were observed at any dose level tested in both presence and absence of S9-mix in either vehicle control or test item cultures. Statistically significant increases in the mean number of revertant colonies were noted in all assays with positive control chemicals.
Under the conditions of this assay, cellulase shall be classified as “Non-Mutagenic” up to the highest concentration of 5000 µg/plate which is equivalent to 6.37 mg enzyme concentrate dry matter/mL.
