Method

Target gene:
his (salmonella)
trp (e.coli)
Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
phenobarbital and β-naphthoflavone induced rat liver S9 mix
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
1st experiment
0; 33; 100; 333; 1 000; 3 250 and 6 500 μg/plate
doses were adjusted to purity (highest dose equals 5mg pure substance/plate)
2nd experiment (pre-incubation)
0; 10; 33; 100; 333; 1 000 and 3 000 μg/plate
doses were adjusted to purity (highest dose equals 2300mg pure substance/plate)
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: DMSO
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: the test substance is almost insoluble in water, DMSO has been demonstrated to be suitable for this test and historical control data with this vehicle are available.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (no preincubation), in suspension (preincubation)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20min
- Exposure duration: 48 - 72h

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): minimal agar (0.5M his + 0.5M biotin (salmonella) or 0.5M trp (e.coli))

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: titer determination (no. of bacterial colonies after incubation with test substance without selection agent)

OTHER:
The Salmonella strains are checked for the following characteristics at regular intervals:
deep rough character (rfa); UV sensitivity (Ä uvrB); ampicillin resistance (R factor plasmid).
E. coli WP2 uvrA is checked for UV sensitivity.
Histidine and tryptophan auxotrophy is checked in each experiment via the spontaneous rate.
Evaluation criteria:
Acceptance criteria
Generally, the experiment is considered valid if the following criteria are met:
• The number of revertant colonies in the negative controls was within the range of the historical negative control data for each tester strain.
• The sterility controls revealed no indication of bacterial contamination.
• The positive control substances both with and without S9 mix induced a distinct increase in the number of revertant colonies within the range of the historical positive control data or above.
• Fresh bacterial culture containing approximately 1 billion cells per mL were used. For this approval the titer of viable bacteria has to be ≥ 100 million colonies per mL.

Assessment criteria
The test substance is considered positive in this assay if the following criteria are met:
• A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. about doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.
A test substance is generally considered non-mutagenic in this test if:
• The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative control range under all experimental conditions in at least two experiments carried out independently of each other.
