Principles of method if other than guideline:
In the standard protocol (preincubation) for conducting the Ames assay, a test tube containing a suspension of one strain of Salmonella typhimurium (or E. coli) plus S9 mix or plain buffer without S9, is incubated for 20 minutes at 37º C with the test chemical. Control cultures, with all the same ingredients except the test chemical, are also incubated. In addition, positive control cultures are prepared; these contain the particular bacterial tester strain under investigation, the various culture ingredients, and a known potent mutagen*. After 20 minutes, agar is added to the cultures and the contents of the tubes are thoroughly mixed and poured onto the surface of Petri dishes containing standard bacterial culture medium. The plates are incubated, and bacterial colonies that do not require an excess of supplemental histidine appear and grow. These colonies are comprised of bacteria that have undergone reverse mutation to restore function of the histidine-manufacturing gene. The number of colonies is usually counted after 2 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Genetic toxicity in vitro for 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulphonic acid in S. typhimurium TA 1535 is found to be negative at dose concentration of 0 - 2000 ug/Plate with and without metabolic activation
Executive summary:

Gene mutation toxicity study was performed to evaluate the mutagenic nature of the test compound 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzene sulphonic acid (RA CAS no 98 -37 -3). Genetic toxicity in vitro for 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzene sulphonic acid in S. typhimurium TA 1535 is found to be negative at dose concentration of 0 - 2000 ug/Plate with and without metabolic activation and hence is likely to be not classified for gene mutation in vitro..
