DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 h for TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, TA 98, TA 100; 3-5 days for D4

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: other: direct revertant colony counts



Evaluation criteria:
Strains TA 1535, TA 1537, and TA 1538: if the solvent control value is within the normal range, a chemical that produces a positive dose-response over three concentrations with the lowest increase equal to twice the solvent control value is considered to be mutagenic.
Strains TA 98, TA 100, and D4: if the solvent control value is within the normal range, a chemical that produces a positive dose response over three concentrations with the highest increase equal to twice the solvent control value for TA 100 and 2-3 times the solvent control value for strains TA 98 and D4 is considered to be mutagenic. For these strains, the dose-response increase should start at approximately the solvent control value.
If a chemical produces a response in a single test that cannot be reproduced in one or more additional runs, the initial positive test data lose significance.

Additional information on results:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: the compound was slightly toxic to the strain T-1537 at 500 µg per plate. TA-98 was repeated at 100, 500 and 1000 µg because of the increased number of revertants at 500 µg over the background level. The repeat test was negative.
