- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- Culture of Bacteria
10 hours before the start of each experiment, one pellet lyophilisate of each strain was placed into a culture flask containing 70 mL nutrient broth. For the incubation of strains TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102 ampicilline was added to the nutrient broth (25 mg/L), for the incubation of strain TA102, tetracycline was added (20 mg/L) in addition to ampicilline. TA1535 was incubated without the addition of antibiotica. The flasks were incubated at 37°C for 10 hours.
Preparations
In the days before each test, the media and solutions were prepared. Two days before the test, the plates were sterilized and the first batches poured. On the day before the test, the remaining plates were poured.
On the day of the test, the overnight cultures were checked for growth. The incubation chambers were heated to 37 °C. The water bath was turned to 43 °C. The table surface was disinfected.
The S9 mix was freshly prepared and stored at 0 °C.
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) and pre-incubation method
Plate incorporation method
Per strain and dose, four plates with and four plates without S9 mix were used. The upper three concentrations of the test item were weighed directly into sterile test tubes and auto-claved; then, the tubes were filled up with sterile water. The other two concentrations were diluted from these suspensions. All suspensions were constantly stirred during the test. Top agar basis was melted in a microwave oven, after melting, 10 mL of histidine-biotin-solution 0.5 mMol per 100 mL basis was added and the bottle was placed in the water bath at 45 °C.
0.1 mL of the appropriate suspension of the test item was given into a sterile tube. After mixing with 0.1 mL overnight culture of the respective strain and 0.5 mL phosphate buffer (only for treatments without S9) or 0.5 mL S9 mix, 2 mL Top-Agar were added. The mix-ture was gently vortexed, then poured on a minimal glucose plate and distributed evenly, the plate was shaked slowly. The plates were closed and left to harden for a few minutes, then inverted and placed in the dark incubator at 37 °C.
Pre-incubation method
Per strain and dose, four plates with and four plates without S9 mix were used. All five concentrations of the test item were weighed directly into sterile test tubes and autoclaved; then, the tubes were filled up with sterile water. All suspensions were constantly stirred during the test. Top agar basis was melted in a microwave oven, after melting, 10 mL of histidine-biotin-solution 0.5 mMol per 100 mL basis was added and the bottle was placed in the water bath at 45 °C.
0.1 mL of the appropriate suspension of the test item were given into a sterile tube. After mixing with 0.1 mL overnight culture of the respective strain, 0.5 mL phosphate buffer (only for treatments without S9) or 0.5 mL S9 mix were added. The mixture was incubated in an incubation chamber at 37°C for 20 minutes. During this time the vessels were aerated through careful shaking. Then 2 mL top agar was added. The mixture was vortexed gently, then poured on a minimal glucose plate and distributed evenly, the plate was shaked slowly. The plates were closed and left to harden for a few minutes, then inverted and placed in the dark incubator at 37°C.
The colonies were counted visually, the numbers were recorded. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test item is considered to have mutagenic potential, if a significant, reproducible increase of revertant colonies per plate (increase factor >= 2) in at least one strain can be observed. A concentration-related increase over the range tested can also be taken as a sign of mutagenic activity.
- Statistics:
- A spreadsheet software (Microsoft Excel(R)) was used to calculate mean values and standard deviations as well as the increase factor of revertant induction.
Results and discussion
Test results
- Species / strain:
- S. typhimurium, other: TA 97a, TA 98, TA 100, TA 102 and TA 1535
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Genotoxicity:
- negative
- Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
- no cytotoxicity
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Untreated negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Additional information on results:
- The test item did not show mutagenic effects in both experiments either with or without the addition of a metabolic activation system (S9 mix). The number of revertant colonies was not increased in comparison with the spontaneous revertants (solvent only).
Cytotoxicity of the test item was not detected. The background lawn was visible and the number of revertants was not significantly decreased.
Therefore it can be stated, that under the test conditions, the test item silicic acid, aluminium salt is not mutagenic in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test using Salmonella typhimurium, strains TA 97a, TA 98, TA 100, TA 102 and TA 1535. - Remarks on result:
