COUNTING
Revertant colonies were counted using an automated electronic colony counter (Biotran, New Brunswick Scientific Instruments) calibrated to count standard plates (accepted accuracy 95 %)
Evaluation criteria:
A positive response was taken to be a two-fold or greater increase in the mean number of revertant colonies appearing in the test plates over and above the background spontaneous reversion rate observed with the solvent, together with evidence of a dose response at sub-toxic concentrations of the test substance. Observed positive responses were validated by replica plating (Elek and Hilson, 1954). The technique verify whether true reversion to prototrophy

Additional information on results:
When tested at the limit of solubility (2000 µg/plate), this compound gave a negative result in the absence of metabolic activation. In the presence of S9, a positive result was obtained in strain TA1537 at a single dose (500 µg/plate), with no dose-related response at lower plate concentrations. On retesting, this result was not repeatable and would thus appear to be an artifact rather than a true positive result.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Not genotoxic
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for its mutagenic potential according to Ames et al. on four strain of Salmonella (TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100)

Under test condition the substance resulted not mutagenic.
