Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation),

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 1 h
- Exposure duration: 3 days

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: two independent experiments, in triplicates each

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth by colony count

Evaluation criteria:

A positive response in a (valid) individual experiment is achieved when one or both of the following criteria are met: a) a significant, dose-related increase in the mean number of revertants is observed; b) a two-fold or greater increase in the mean number of revertant colonies (over that observed for the concurrent solvent control plates) is observed at one or more concentrations
A negative result in a (valid) individual experiment is achieved when: a) there is no significant dose-related increase in the mean number of revertant colonies per plate observed for the test substance; and b) in the absence of any such dose response, no increase in colony numbers is observed (at any test concentration) which exceeds 2x the concurrent solvent control.

Statistics:

All derived calculations (i.e. mean colony count/plate; standard deviation, etc.) were carried out by computer, no further specification of methods

Additional information on results:

- RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: In an initial experiment, significant toxicity was observed at concentrations of 200 µg/plate and above.
- The positive controls for each experiment induced the expected responses, indicating the strains were responding satisfactorily in each case. - COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: Data of positive and vehicle controls is range of experiments done between 12/1997 and 06/2004

Any other information on results incl. tables

In two subsequent experiments with each tester strain, the test substance did not induce any significant, reproducible increases in the observed numbers of revertant colonies with any of the tester strains in the presence or absence of S9-mix.

It is concluded that, under the conditions of this assay, ATMER 163 gave a negative, i.e. non-mutagenic, response in S. typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 and E. coli strain WP2 uvrA (pKM101) in both the presence and absence of S9-mix.
