- METHOD OF APPLICATION: Standard plate test (SPT) and preincubation test (PIT)
STANDARD PLATE TEST (1st experiment):
Test tubes containing 2-ml portions of soft agar (overlay agar), which consists of 100 ml agar (0.6% agar + 0.6% NaCl) and 10 ml amino acid solution are kept in a water bath at 45°C, and the remaining components are added in the following order:
0.1 ml test solution or vehicle
0.1 ml fresh bacterial culture
0.5 ml S-9 mix (in tests with metabolic activation) or 0.5 ml phosphate buffer (in tests without metabolic activation)
After mixing, the samples are poured onto minimal agar plates within approx. 30 seconds. After incubation at 37°C for 48 -72 hours in the dark, the bacterial colonies are counted.
Doses: 0; 21.4; 107; 535; 2675 and 5350 µg/plate with and without S9-Mix.
PREINCUBATION TEST (2nd experiment):
0.1 ml test solution or vehicle, 0.1 ml bacterial suspension and 0.5 ml S-9 mix are incubated at 37°C for the duration of about 20 minutes using a shaker. Subsequently, 2 ml of soft agar is added and, after mixing, the samples are poured onto the agar plates within approx. 30 seconds. After incubation at 370C for 48 -72 hours in the dark, the bacterial colonies are counted
Doses: 0; 4; 20; 100; 500 and 2500 µg/plate with and without S9-Mix (dose selection is based on the findings of the 1st experiment).
CONTROLS:

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
Toxicity detected by a
- decrease in the number of revertants
- clearing or diminution of the background lawn (= reduced his- or trp- background growth)
- reduction in the titer
is recorded for all test groups both with and without S-9 mix in all experiments. - Evaluation criteria:
- The test chemical 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 S-9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.
A test substance is generally considered nonmutagenic in this test if:
- The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative control range under all experimental conditions in two experiments carried out independently of each other.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
A weak bacteriotoxic effect (slight decrease in the number of revertants) was occasionally observed in the standard plate test depending on the strain and test conditions from about 535 µg - 2675 µg/plate onward. In the preincubation assay bacteriotoxicity was observed depending on the strain and test conditions from about 100 µg - 500 µg/plate onward. - Remarks on result:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
According to the results of the present study, the test substance is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium/Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay under the experimental conditions chosen. - Executive summary:
The test article was tested for its mutagenic potential based on the ability to induce point mutations in selected loci of several bacterial strains, i.e. Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, in a reverse mutation assay. The following strains were tested: TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98 and E. col i WP2 uvrA. Two plating methods, the standard plate test and the preincubation test, each in the presence and absence of a metabolic activating system (rat liver S9 mix), were employed. The test substance was found to be precipitating at concentrations of 2500 µg/plate onward. A bacteriotoxic effect was observed under all test conditions. An increase in the number of his+ or trp+ revertants was not observed in the standard plate test or in the preincubation test either without S-9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system. Therefore, the test substance is not considered to be mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium/Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
